Her encounters with the Holy Spirit and risen Christ occurred in 2003 and 2007. She is presently a member of an orthodox Anglican church, Christ the Redeemer, in Manassas, Virginia. She has a strong science background with a BA from the University of Virginia with majors in mathematics and chemistry. Also, she has a DVM from the Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine and received a Masters in Theological Studies from the Virginia Theological Seminary. Her experience in science led her to look into the science based claims made by The Episcopal Church (TEC) regarding homosexuality. She noticed that none of the authors of TEC’s theological document, To Set Our Hope on Christ, had any background in science. That led her to have discussions with the hierarchy of TEC and the Anglican Communion about the serious problems with TEC's document. She is qualified to write this book because it is her personal story, and she has the expertise to interpret science in a way that lay people can understand. Further, her Masters in Theological Studies allows her to discuss theological and biblical issues on this topic. But it was her personal spiritual transformation that made it possible for her to present her concerns to the leaders of the Episcopal Church and to the larger Anglican Communion. Without that transformation, the story would not have happened. She is now again practicing part-time as a veterinarian in Arlington, Virginia. She volunteers at a church that helps underprivileged children in the DC area, and she does lay ministry at her own church, including children’s ministry.ver menos
