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. :-)
