Have you ever wondered about why we pray? Have you ever struggled with “how” to pray? This Lenten retreat will discuss the practice of prayer from both sides: why we pray, including biblical, historical, and theological understandings of prayer and also hands-on experience with different practices of prayer within the Christian – and Episcopalian – tradition.

She is a 2008 graduate of Yale Divinity School and Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. When she is not at church, Anna enjoys knitting, reading books, and walking her dog, Tillich.
