Jane Redmont

I'm the author of two books, Generous Lives: American Catholic Women Today (1992) and When in Doubt, Sing: Prayer in Daily Life (1999) and of more than 100 articles.

I'm a theologian with strong ecumenical and feminist interests and commitments. I work as a professor of religious studies and women's studies (and periodically, environmental studies) at Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina. I moved here from Berkeley, California in the summer of 2005.

I pray, preach, and cherish the congregation at St. Mary's House (Episcopal/Anglican) in Greensboro, North Carolina. I chair the Anti-Racism Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina. I'm also a spiritual director and retreat facilitator.

My byline as a book author and journalist is Jane Redmont. In academia (including academic writing in peer-reviewed journals) and in Episcopal church circles, I use my full legal name, Jane Carol Redmont, in honor of my maternal great-grandmother, Karoline Hirsch Tokaji, after whom I was middle-named.

Welcome - or welcome back!

Acts of Hope is an active blog once again. We're still finding our footing, but there are old posts here as well as new, so have a look, and please come back soon.
