In this Random Nun Clip, Sr. Jane Aseltyne, a member of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, based in Monroe, Michigan, joins Sister Maxine for an Ask Sister question. A listener wonders if there's ever drama among the nuns in a convent. "The short answer to this question is yes," Sister Jane says, because sisters are human beings. But there are upsides to recognizing each other's imperfections and mistakes.
