About Martha Korienek
Martha Korienek is a priest in the Episcopal Church with over 20 years of experience in parish and diocesan ministry. Her passions include pastoral care and spiritual formation - everything from Bible studies and deeper prayer practices to retreats - and her gifts and skill sets include reconciliation after conflict and teaching others the skills they need so they feel empowered to follow whatever their call me be.
Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Martha earned her B.A. from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and then went on to earn her M.Div. from Yale Divinity School. She has served Episcopal communities in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City. Most recently, she served as the Canon to the Ordinary in the Diocese of El Camino Real before leaving to pursue a Ph.D. in Pastoral Theology.
Martha loves to travel.
It is endlessly fascinating to see what God has done and is doing, and travel is a great way to do that. In this way, travel also opens up the imagination to dream about what God might be doing next.

Martha also loves her cat, June Bug.
In addition to going out into the world for holy experiences, few things are as glorious as those cozy moments when you stay home with a good book, a cup of tea, and a cat curled up on your lap.
