| Introduction | I am an Episcopal priest, retired, author of "Spiritual Lemons", "The God Between Us," and a memoir, published in 2016: God Is Not A Boy's Name: Becoming Woman, Becoming Priest. In retirement I continue to write and publish. I have seven vocations and counting: survivor, overachiever, mother and grandmother of blended family of 7 children and 12 grandchildren, recovering codependent, pastoral counselor/spiritual director, author, and, yes, little old lady with chutzpah. INFJ type. #5 Enneagram, which means at best I'm a wise woman and at worst a know-it-all. Education for Ministry mentor/coordinator. 1/4 Jewish. Favorite way to be a priest: preside at an improv eucharist in a small group. Favorite heretical theology: Pelagianism. Favorite spirituality: Celtic spirituality, Ignatian prayer. Current aspiration: to get my passion for non-gendered/inclusive theological language into the mind of the church and its liturgies.
