Liturgy & Resources

Meditation & Liturgy for Drinking Coffee

This was created as an exploration of consuming as a spiritual practice for our Practical Theology Capstone course taught by Dr. Mindy McGarrah Sharp. This original liturgy is designed to engage more deeply with an everyday pleasure, our first cup of coffee.

Poetry Collection for the “Sandwich Generation”

This is a collection of poems crafted for the seminary course “The Preacher and the Poet” taught by Rev. Dr. Anna Carter Florence at Columbia Theological Seminary. The project was to design a portfolio of poems crafted to meet a pastoral need. I identified the “sandwich generation,” or those of us that are living between our aging parents and being parents, as a place to focus my curation. Here is the result!

Theological Writing

Below is the introduction to my Honors Project, “Grace-Talk: Sin & Confession in Context,” written at Columbia Theological Seminary over the course of the 2024-25 academic year. If you are so inclined to keep reading, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me to ask for a full copy!

Here is the final paper written for the course Jesus Christ in Global Perspective in the spring of 2025. This course was a survey of theologians from all over the map of the world. Through engaging with their work, Dr. Tim Hartman asked us to answer Jesus’ most expansive question, “Who do you say that I am?” This is my response.

This is the final paper for my History of Christianities course, Beginnings through 1700 CE taught by Dr. Grayden McCashen. In it, I take a look at the Eucharist through the lens of early Christian practice in the first century and Augustine’s experience in Confessions to see what I can learn about how we encounter the sacrament today,
