About Lainie

My name is Lainie. This is my blog, which has been dormant for awhile. I’m hoping to get it going again.

For awhile it was primarily dedicated to the missional/emergent movements within the Christian church. Some very ugly personal circumstances required me to take it down for awhile, and now that I am “back”, I am finding myself in a very different position theologically and personally from when I started the blog. My plan is to use the blog as a platform for religion and spirituality writing.

As for my biographical details: I am 42 years old and live in Chicago. I love to read, travel, and take a great deal of pleasure in writing, drinking tea and wine, eating good cheese, exercise, and being an armchair detective (i.e. I like true crime stuff). I am a cranky feminist.

Way too much formal education: I have a bachelors degree in Philosophy from Illinois State University (minor in Women’s Studies), a Master of Divinity degree and a Master of Theological Studies degree from Garrett Evanglical Theological Seminary, plus a Master of Library and Information Science degree from Dominican University.

I’m not sure whether my plan to restart this blog will ever come to fruition. I can more often be found at LainieSips.com, where I blog about tea.
