Thematic Bibliography
Since returning to graduate school in 2000 for an MA and PhD in Religion, Psychology and Culture, the content of my research and writing has focused on the practice of ministry, women’s leadership, Baptists, and theological ethnography as a method for doing practical theological work. I write for three audiences primarily: my colleagues engaged in theological education and research, ministers and people concerned with the well-being of the church, activists and spiritually engaged people only marginally concerned with organized religion.

Since 2014 I’ve been delighted to work with the Women’s Leadership Initiative, an MDiv program of Central Seminary. The purpose of this program is to provide focused support for women called to ministry, through group coaching, individual mentoring, local and global internship immersions, and attention to the particular barriers and challenges women still face when entering the practice and profession of ministry.
