For as long as she can remember, Britta Baumert knew one thing: she wanted to become a teacher. Having reached that decision while still at school, it initially did not seem so important what she would teach rather than the fact that she would teach at all.

She also viewed the Church with a healthy degree of skepticism. Catholic theology, in other words, was not the obvious path.
