Theology
Barry says she was first physically, immediately aware of the Holy Spirit when she was eight years old. How she expressed and experienced her relationship with the Divine changed over time. Though formal education has played a role, so has lived experience. Barry reports that one of her biggest struggles is with her negative feelings about fundamentalism of any sort, Christian or otherwise. Barry also counts music and hymns from many traditions as a principal influence on her theology.
