I noticed your name, are you a religious group?
No, we are not. While we do have some of the nuns work sales, they generally can not accept any form of payment - so we donate their wages to their church's. Most of us are regular people who have numerous differing theological beliefs - we associate religious discrimination and intolorance with ignorance and do not hire people like that. Frequently, we are asked how we came about our name, we tend to be somewhat mysterious about this subject, (we are very nice and down to earth people, really.) We ask that you please do not call us solely for this reason as we tend to be fairly busy.
