You being Baptist and speaking about a nun that helped you reminded me of a friend and neighbor I had back in the 1960's. We were close and talked about a lot of things, she was Methodist and I was Catholic. She once told me that she had talked with me about things she never even mentioned to her psychiatrist.

One day we were talking and she said she had a problem that she couldn't even talk with me about and was in some distress.

I suggested to her that I take her to my church and she could go into the confessional and talk with the priest. I told her to start by telling the priest she was not catholic but needed desperately to talk with someone. I also explained to her as she knelt, she would hear the sliding of a the cubical door that meant the priest was now listening to her..

I waited out in the church. She was in there for some time, she never talked to me about it which was fine, but she also never mentioned a problem she could not talk to anyone about....I have guessed that whatever the priest told her must have helped. And she had the confidence of knowing that the priest would never talk about it outside of the confessional either...cross religions can help one another if we let it.

There's a hand full of Nuns we got to know for three months I'll always have a special place in my heart for. One of them literally protected my wife from someone wanting to harm her. She showed her Ex the door in a not so gentle manner after a sick comment he made as to why he was there. Without that Nun being there when my wife's dad abandoned her on our wedding day we may have not gotten married. The Nun read him like a book a very evil man indeed.

At our wedding were several Nuns, a Priest who was the hospital Chaplain, and our preacher who officiated the wedding.
