Changing Tracks: Cynthia Gardner
- Published in Changing Tracks
Cynthia Gardner grew up in the Presbyterian Church, though her faith was not very strong. She married Michael Gardner, previously interviewed in Changing Tracks, and though her husband was Methodist they continued attending the Presbyterian Church. Through conversations with a friend, she decided to buy a book about the Marian apparitions in Medjugorje, which changed the direction of her own life and that of her whole family. After many discussions with her husband and interior battles about whether or not to enter the Catholic Church (because of the incoherence of many Catholics), she reached the conclusion that the Truth was to be found in the Catholic Church. And wanting not only to save her own soul but those of her family, she decided to enter the Church. She joins us today to tell us how a Protestant changes tracks because of an intense love for the Blessed Virgin.
