  • Mary Frances Easterling
    well lectured and very insightful. illustrations were also tasteful. Though I did not enjoy the fact that there is a subscription to Wonderum which supplies the religion courses of 20.00 per month minimally making this NOT free, and there will be no certificate either. Still as a knowledge base this is not bad.
