This was a brilliant concept and story idea...short and to the point! It is about an android in the future wanting to join a church, but ore wanting to give a confession and be absolved..he debates his right and finally gets to, and in return, records the experience and posts it to youtube...lol really enjoyed this!!!!

Captures a nuanced debate in a short read

Author David T. Wolf has this incredible ability to use his stories to simplify debates. Take “A Disturbance in the Church,” a short story that leaves readers pondering souls, sins, and the catholic church. As a catholic myself, I can assuredly say no one is perfect. The church has had more than its share of horrific, nightmarish accusations, and history of exclusion and judgement. Yet, Wolf offers a fresh perspective as he debates the inclusion of an android in the local catholic church.

Topics such as the soul, original sin, and even the dwindling number of churchgoers come up in this short read. With a fascinating meeting, and subsequent debate between android, the android creator, priest, bishop, cardinal, rabbi, and even the pope, Wolf inserts his unique sense of humor and wit. Themes such as human versus android, the differing opinions of those in the catholic church, and the judgement of those different then us, makes this an intriguing read.

Whether raised catholic or not, this story is incredibly thought provoking. When paired with the current climate of the church, and the horrendous truths coming out of it, this book and the ideas Wolf has put to page, personified this environment in a more black and white way. Using androids and humans, Wolf has simplified some of the biggest arguments surrounding the catholic faith.

Using just an atheist, a rabbi, a cardinal, an officiant, a priest, and an android this read enlightens, engages, and intrigues. Wolf has captured such a nuanced debate in just a few short pages, once again showing us his proficiency with the pen.

This was a very interesting concept.A robot wants to give confesssion.This stirs up feelings in everyone.Will he get what he wants?I was gifted the Audible version by Audio Blast for an honest review.Jack de Golla was honestly the best narrator for this short story.

Very Imaginative

WoW! I read and listen to alot of books and this is the first time for this concept, the author did a great job laying this story out for us. This is my first book with this author, but I would like to check out some of his other work. Also the narration by Jack De Golia was spot on. I was provided this free audiobook code and this is my voluntary unbiased review.
