Dr. Gail Keeney Mulligan is an ordained Episcopal priest. She studied theology at the Jesuit university in St. Louis, earned her MDiv at BexleyHall and Crozer (Baptist, Episcopal, and Methodist seminaries), and her DMin at New York Theological Seminary. She was mentored in mission-minded ministries with Fr. Kenneth Leech of London and conferences with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and with Phoebe Griswold in the creation of Anglican Women’s Empowerment (AWE) with the UNCSW. She was ordained an Episcopal priest from the Christ Church Cathedral of St. Louis and served in New York, Panama, Oklahoma, and Connecticut, where many racial challenges and struggles of poverty were faced. But in spite of the challenges, she was deeply fed by mentors, teachers, bishops, and priests who empowered her to be and do what needed to be done to shine hope in the midst of darkness.view less
