Be aware this program will be on Sunday at 7.10am,   REPEATED on  Wednesday at 7.10pm ENCOUNTER: Pondering All These Things Sunday 17 October, 7.10am, Radio National For many women, becoming a mother is a profound experience, provoking many intense changes in her life and identity. And yet, culturally, mothering is made to seem an ordinary or 'instinctive' process - its complexities frequently collapsing into static images and patronising sentiments. This week's program ponders the experience of mothering as a largely untapped resource for serious reflection on theology and ethics, frustration and fulfilment - and even world peace.
