About me
Hilary is a historian and priest by training and vocation, and seeks to bring both of those perspectives into her classrooms as they explore the history and practice of Anglican liturgy. Her academic interests are in the intersections of religion and politics in early modern Britain and Ireland, and through that work she has come to appreciate deeply the ways the Prayer Book has always been in conversation with the world around us. That interplay—between the prayers gifted to us by the Church, and our present realities—is central to her teaching about the liturgy and its history. Hilary wants her students to leave seminary with an understanding of the history and theology of the Prayer Book, and from that understanding to be equipped to make liturgical decisions that have both liturgical and theological integrity.
