Patricia O'Connell Killen (Author)

Dr. Patricia O’Connell Killen teaches about Christianity in North America, especially Catholicism, religion and spirituality in the Pacific Northwest, and theological reflection. She researches the intersection of social context, community, and spirituality, exploring how, as contexts change, individuals and communities engage with their religious heritages in making sense of their lives, navigating challenging circumstances, and addressing novel challenges. Over four decades Patricia has taught courses, facilitated workshops, and lectured on theological reflection in the United States, Canada, and Ireland. Most recently she co-edited and contributed to The Future of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States (Columbia University Press, 2019); Religion at the Edge: Nature, Spirituality, and Secularity in the Pacific Northwest (University of British Columbia Press, 2022); and Gratitude, Injury and Repair in a Pandemic Age: An Interreligious Dialogue (Georgetown University, 2025). Patricia is a recipient of the American Academy of Religion Teaching Excellence Award, an Elizabeth Seton Medal from the College of Mt. St. Joseph, and an Arnold L. and Lois S. Graves Foundation Award for Outstanding Humanities Teachers. Currently she is professor of religion, emerita, at Pacific Lutheran University. Previously she taught at Loyola University of Chicago and served as Academic Vice President at Gonzaga University.

The author confronts the love/hate relationship many women have with the church and encourages the reader to walk deeply into that simultaneous hunger for God and disillusionment with their religious heritage. Particularly helpful are the authentic voices of women whom the author has met. The book also poses questions and suggestions for further thinking and activity that are frank, insightful, inviting, and move toward spiritual discernment. This book accomplishes what it sets out to do: accompany women on a journey toward their own faithful wisdom.
