Kristen Filipic grew up in Central Ohio and attended Kenyon College studying philosophy, classics, and the Integrated Program in Humane Studies while her parents wondered about employability.  After some stern lectures from her college advisor about the realities of the academic job market, she went off to the Jesuit Volunteer Corps after graduation and then moved to Chicago to the last refuge of liberal arts majors – law school.

Now settled in Boston, she fights housing discrimination while coordinating interviews for Christian Humanist Profiles, knitting (mostly socks) and enjoying living in a quirky Boston neighborhood.

After spending many years trying to create her own Catholic-Protestant blend, she realized that being an Episcopalian is a lot simpler.
