The Unjust Steward is Now Available!

I'm very excited to be able to share that The Unjust Steward: Wealth, Poverty, and the Church Today is now available for pre-sale. The publication date is September 15.

Many of the blog posts written from about April 2020 through January 2022 were the first drafts of book chapters for what ultimately became The Unjust Steward: Wealth, Poverty, and the Church Today. It took a lot of work and excellent contributions and editing from many people, but today I'm very excited to share that this book is now available for presale through Forward Movement. Read more about the book project here.

On Eucharist and Economic Justice

By the summer of 2005, I knew I was no longer Roman Catholic. The revelations about the child sex abuse scandal that the Boston Globe began publishing in 2002 combined with the conservativeness of the young seminarians I'd met while studying at a small Roman Catholic university in Texas, as well as the prospect of spending any more time arguing for "the basics" such as women's ordination and acceptance of LGBTQ+ people, led me to realize that I needed to go elsewhere to find a faith community that shared my core values.

Nevertheless, the train eventually brought me to Penn Station to begin my life in New York. After a tumultuous year of adjusting to life in the city, I was determined to try to find a ...

As I think I say every time that I am here, All Saints has a special place in my heart. Not only is it the parish where my husband and I were married in 2019, but it is also one of the two churches that is supporting me in the ordination process – that is, in my journey to become an Episcopal priest. So this a spiritual home and it is always great to be back here. Today I thought I would reflect on the Gospel reading from Mark. The passage that we read today is one of the most dramatic moments in Jesus’ earthly life, an event called “the transfiguration” - or “the metamorphosis” in Greek. This moment of metamorphosis has always been a source of fascination for artists, and recently I had the chance to see a wall-sized, 16th century oil painting of the Transfiguration by the artists Gio...

A Conversation on Koinonia in the Diocese of Northern Michigan

I recently had a chance to speak with Bishop Rayford Ray and Canon Lydia Bucklin about the model of economic fellowship that has taken root in the Diocese of Northern Michigan. This ended up being one of the most radical (and intriguing) conversations I've had about money in the church in a long while. Take a listen and let me know what you think.
