Brigid Dwyer is a Postulant for the Diaconate from the Episcopal Diocese of Newark, in Northern New Jersey. She is joining us at St. John's while a student of Anglican Studies at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria.
A lifelong Episcopalian and a PK (priest's kid), Brigid has served in lay ministry from a very young age, and finds bringing people together in worship to be her greatest joy. While at VTS, she's taking a leave of absence from her Ph.D. program in New Testament at Drew University in New Jersey, where she focuses on the letters of Paul. Brigid is also a proud veteran of the United States Navy, and a former Federal employee, having worked for the Department of the Army and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Brigid will lead our November 22 adult education session, "Episcopal 101."
Welcome, Brigid!
