About Amanda

I started this blog as a 13-year-old farmgirl… and now I’m a twenty-something priest in the Episcopal Church. I like to blog about theology, literature, Sherlock Holmes, my cat (also named Sherlock), though most often, you’ll find me posting sermons and reflections that I write as part of my full-time work. Currently based in the DC area.
