God has called us to lament and protest suffering and injustice, while also giving us the gifts of freedom, gratitude, and joy in being found and being loved in Christ. We are weaving a new tapestry of community life that draws on Scripture, contemporary experience, and the wisdom of the ages. We experience the Spirit calling us to gather the diverse threads of religious traditions and ways of life. While each thread is distinct, together they bind Companions to one another and to the tapestry the Spirit is weaving in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5de9a01afc43ca33cefaa5f0/1578172265771-QPNPDKQL30QPBWUC6M0Q/icon-mary-magdalene-telling-the-disciples.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5de9a01afc43ca33cefaa5f0/bc05af53-ecbd-44eb-b919-85cc8426dfd2/IMG_0009.jpeg https://companionsofmarytheapostle.org/oblate-companions daily 0.75 2025-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5de9a01afc43ca33cefaa5f0/e29f612d-bf0a-4f18-9081-642308c0ba70/darioHiking.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5de9a01afc43ca33cefaa5f0/641a8d88-7191-45bf-9741-ce4f3bee3ef5/Annie.jpg https://companionsofmarytheapostle.org/monastic-companions daily 0.75 2024-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5de9a01afc43ca33cefaa5f0/05aa764a-87d1-4eb3-ad86-46f153f9f4be/icon+written+by+joseph+brown.jpeg Monastic Companions Icon written by Joseph Brown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5de9a01afc43ca33cefaa5f0/1578162675188-TSJ513HPUKBF3YQSPCDC/sistershane.jpg Monastic Companions - Sister Shane Phelan West Park, New York I am a co-founder of the Companions of Mary the Apostle. Before we began in January 2013, I had several lives. I have lived all over the U.S., from California to Massachusetts. I’m a Westerner who loves water! I received my Ph.D. in political science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. From 1988 to 2000 I taught political philosophy and women studies at the University of New Mexico, where I wrote primarily on lesbian and gay politics. I am a teacher through and through; I love leading retreats and small groups, as well as preaching. I have been doing recovery work since 1985. I learned through that experience how much I love to listen for what God is doing in other people. That eventually led me to learn about spiritual direction, which is now part of my ministry. Through my own prayer I realized I loved to pray, and to help others pray. In late 2000 I entered an Episcopal women’s community in New Jersey, and remained there until 2009. While there I led spirituality groups at a teenage therapeutic community, and served as a pastoral assistant at a local parish that had a large recovering population as well as many lgbt members. In 2009 I was ordained an Episcopal priest, and I served a parish in New Jersey for three years before starting the Companions. I love to sing and dance and play games. I also write and have published several books, the latest of which is a memoir, Big Queer Nun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5de9a01afc43ca33cefaa5f0/1578162872681-51I5VYBAO1WGVK9FWV5V/sisterelizabeth.jpg Monastic Companions - Sister Elizabeth R. Broyles Tobias Keene, D.D.S. Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Tobias Keene brings a bit of unabashed Southern hospitality to all his patients. He moved to Washington, D.C. over thirty years ago as a freshman at Ivy College. Right after graduation, he attended World University’s School of Dentistry. Before opening Keene Dental in 1994, he worked for free clinics and some of the finest practices in the District. He is part of the 123 Dental Association and stays up-to-date on the latest dental discoveries. When not striving to keep his patients happy and healthy, he’s enjoys hiking with his family in Rock Creek Park. https://companionsofmarytheapostle.org/news-1 daily 0.75 2024-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5de9a01afc43ca33cefaa5f0/ba001013-0193-49ba-ab26-bc12a9252a6e/BigQueerNun.jpeg
