Introducing Myself
Hello! My name is Lainie and I am pleased to be a new blogger in this community. It was suggested that I might make a brief post introducing myself, so here goes:

I am a 38 year old woman living in the lovely (but expensive and cold) city of Chicago, where I work for a major educational publisher. I've been to seminary and have been ordained but am not currently pastoring a church or in active ministry, though I hope that this will change eventually. I am very interested in women's roles in the church, and did my master's thesis on women's leadership in Pentecostalism. I also hold a master's degree in library science, and LOVE to do research and work with information of all types.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing (particularly for my blog, Headspace), cooking, and non-work related travel. I have an extreme fondness for cats as well as anything British (particularly British television).

I look forward to writing for this blog and getting to know everyone. :-)

    Welcome Lainie,

    I post here now and again. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts considering your love for research. I don't quite enjoy DOING the research but I like to hear others' work. Call me lazy... you'd be correct. ;-)

    Hi Lainie. I live in Chicago too. Right now I'm freelance writing and getting ready to start a home church after the first of the year. I write about women and their roles both in church and culture on my blog. I'll have to go read yours, so we can compare notes. :)
