Guest Preacher: Emily Meeks

On Sunday, October 25, Emily Meeks will preach at all morning services at Saint Mark’s.

Emily Meeks is a candidate for Holy Orders to the priesthood in the Diocese of Olympia and a senior at Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS). At VTS, she has been grateful to explore the intersection of memory and spirituality—cognitive, embodied, and sacramental ways of remembering the Holy. She is especially interested in ways that congregations can support people with memory loss, and their caretakers, on their spiritual journey through intergenerational relationships and liturgical practices. It was on a bike commute to a new healthcare marketing job that she discovered Saint Mark’s Cathedral and The Episcopal Church, which forever changed her spiritual journey. Emily is married to Stuart, and together, they enjoy connecting across cultures through travel, hiking, and food. Just prior to seminary, Emily served as Saint Mark’s 20s/30s staff lead and special projects coordinator with a focus on affordable housing project management and grant writing.
