Interview with Charity Edmonds: The Art of Bread Making

In this episode of the Feminine Glory podcast, hosts Lydia and Esther Edmonds welcome their mother, Charity Edmonds, to discuss her journey in bread making, homeschooling, and the joys and challenges of motherhood. Charity shares her experiences with baking, the decision to homeschool her children, and the importance of engaging with the community and church life. The conversation also touches on the mindset needed for effective parenting, the significance of historical figures in shaping their values, and the essence of feminine glory in nurturing and educating the next generation.

Quotes mentioned:

"It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare.

All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations.

It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.

Nations, cultures, arts, civilization—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.

But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously—no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. And our charity must be real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner—no mere tolerance or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses." -C.S. Lewis "The Weight of Glory"*
