Author’s Background:
Barbara McKinnon’s social justice and ministry career began with involvement in programs developed to improve community mental health. During that period, her efforts resulted in her being listed in Outstanding Young Women of America. Through leadership in committee work, fund-raising, and direct ministry, her advocacy has supported social services for cancer patients, abused women, and the homeless. She earned her undergraduate degree in history at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College and her Master of Divinity at General Theological Seminary during the inception of the feminist movement in the Episcopal Church. McKinnon is frequently called on to contribute written communications for community endeavors. Through investigating more than 20 file boxes of Nancy’s journals, letters, lectures, speeches, and artifacts, interviews with family members, friends, and contemporaries, and hours of intimate conversation, Mrs. McKinnon has been able to mine rich sources of information.
