Dr. Alexandra Campbell – conversion experience

Welcome to our special program on the Year of Faith, THE FAITHFUL WITNESS, a series on the lives of Inspiring People and Witnesses of faith in the Catholic Church from around the world. These are people who lived their ordinary lives in extraordinary ways. They are examples of great fortitude and virtue. Their unique stories inspire us to be rooted in our faith. God calls each one of us today to inspire our brothers and sisters and to be witnesses of our faith.
The Faithful Witness of this week is Dr. Alexandra Campbell. Born in New York, she is a practicing psychologist in a hospital in California, USA. She holds a Phd in psychology. Dr. Alexandra has gone through dramatic experiences in her faith life. Born and brought up in a Catholic family, she practiced her faith as she understood it. But when divorce of her parents tore up the family, her life went through unpredicted turmoil, and she and her mother found solace in other religious traditions.
