I am retired and gratefully still vital in mind, body, spirit. I have published a memoir, God Is Not a Boy's Name. Becoming Woman. Becoming Priest, Wipf and Stock/Cascade Books, which will be out in audiobook form this year. I continue to keep a blog and work on a second memoir focused on the spirituality of motherhood. (My four children felt quite left out of my churchy memoir.) I blog weekly www.spirituallemons.blogspot.com. I am in touch with the Rev. Lee McGee, YDS retired faculty, and the Rev. Mary Ann Logue, Peg Oetjen, Ellen Shaver, all YDS commuter/refectory mates. I live in Cambridge, Mass. with my spouse, also an Episcopal priest. We partner to promote Christian formation, EfM, and workshops/retreats on Gender-Sensitive Language—For Creation And Creator. We serve as priests associates at St. John's Charlestown, MA.
