Very excited to share that I’ve accepted the position of Visiting Professor of History and Theology at Virginia Theological Seminary. Grateful for my time at Yale & giddy about this next chapter.

Prepping to teach the theology of Jane Eyre with my Brontë Sisters’ black tea blend on a rainy day

My interview with the one and only Krista Tippett is live! You can listen to it by looking up The Leader’s Way on all the podcast apps, and you can watch it with video on Spotify and YouTube. Are mystery and gentleness what we need right now? Listen to find out.

At the airport Starbucks, they gave me a mocha instead of a latte. The way I see it, the chocolate found me in a time of need, and I can’t be blamed.

To teach is to learn, my friends. Teaching a workshop on contemplative prayer, I was told of the practice of prayer coloring! If you need me, I’ll be here with my markers until further notice.

It’s about the little sparkles these days, like a student baking scones for class

Trying to balance valuing spaciousness with the demands of late-stage capitalism and career advancement. Send help.

Standing before a room full of seminarians is so humbling. My students are some of the most incredible people I have met, and I have so much respect for them and their vocations. The semester is off to a strong start with students grappling with questions of what (whether???) Anglican theology is.

Gaudete 💅

My cat, an idiot: Those ornaments look exactly like my toys. Why can’t I play with them? Me, pinnacle of animals: That felt frog wearing a top hat is to celebrate The Lord

After being a Gregory of Nyssa nerd for many years, I’ll be physically attending my first NAPS conference this year - who will I see there?

It’s beginning to look a lot like … Nellie

On The Leader’s Way podcast - such a great conversation with @hannahblack.bsky.social and Brandon Nappi, at Berkeley Divinity berkeleydivinity.yale.edu/posts/2024-1...

Who else is slowly emerging from an avalanche of emails post #SBLAAR24? Take me back! ☀️🏝️

Back in the saddle! Today with @janjancl.bsky.social 🎙️ ✨

#SBLAAR24 you were great but now I must rest.

Denver ➡️ San Diego shenanigans ‘22 & #SBLAAR24 @hannahfytche.bsky.social

This is such a #truffle #SBLAAR24

Might I commend to you my “truffle hunting” paradigm for conferencing? Each day, the goal is to find a truffle. Truffle = one new friend, idea for a project, way of thinking about something, clue about a publisher or job. Go forth and truffle hunt with joy, connection, and curiosity. 🍄‍🟫✨ #SBLAAR24

Today’s Theologia lunch for Christian women scholars was so effusively encouraging, and of course it was a huge treat to hear a bit of Katherine Sonderegger’s forthcoming third volume of her systematic theology. Thankful!!! #SBLAAR24

Walking back to the hotel, a gaggle of Theology Men held a door open for a friend (also a woman) and me, and decided to say to us, “Come on in kiddies.” In the year of our Lord 2024 literally just … why #SBLAAR24

Yeah this will do #SBLAAR24 @hannahfytche.bsky.social

Printed my AAR name tag so far ahead of schedule that I lost/forgot it. Telling myself I’m simply TOO organized. #SBLAAR24

A small piece of self promotion for those who are looking for something to listen to traveling to #SBLAAR24: my most recent podcast episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Today was the final class of Teresa Morgan and my new course, Ideas of Salvation in Early Christianity at Yale Divinity School. One student reflected, “I always thought salvation was about getting to heaven, but now I think salvation is about heaven getting into us.” 🥲 My work here is done.

Looking forward to #SBLAAR24 as a “break,” she realized it was time for some introspection. 💀

Joining the conversation here post-election, pre-conference #SBLAAR24 Here’s to hoping this can be a collaborative, hopeful space for theologians 🥂
