The order of "gay male nuns" founded in San Franciso in the late 70s found its way to Sydney in the 80s.
Dr Miles Pattenden is a senior research fellow in medieval studies at the Australian Catholic University. Hear a fascinating lesson in the history of the movement in Sydney and their use of medievalism - that is, being inspired by the past to fight for the future.
The Sisters acknowledge and thank the ABC for the use of their material.
