The Rev. Mamisoa Rakotomalala is a scholar and pastor currently researching in the United States, and who has helmed no fewer than eleven parishes simultaneously in her homeland of Madagascar. A part of her larger project focuses on bridging connections surrounding the experiences she has shared with women in her homeland in a new community called Welcome Home. In part two of our conversation, we discuss the different ways that silence can function when it is something chosen and welcomed rather than forced; and we interrogate our own roles as clergy and the ways that can function in community.
