Rev. Emily Hook and I grew up in Richmond, VA, both in Southern Baptist churches, and both had our own adult journeys into a contemplative, liturgical tradition. Emily tells her story on that path, and spoiler alert: she is now ordained to ministry in the Presbyterian Church.
We scratched the surface on perfectionism, the community aspect of liturgy in worship, and the path of personal, contemplative faith through it all.
And I especially hope you enjoy hearing Emily reflect on the unique balance of motherhood and pastoring, a beautiful and challenging and necessary role in the church. I’m so grateful we have women like her modeling the Divine Mother love of God within a historically patriarchal tradition.
