Anna Mullen is a second-year master of divinity candidate at Harvard Divinity School, with particular interests in environmental ethics, eco-theologies, and sustainable communities.

Over the course of the 2013-14 academic year, she is serving as a field education intern with Peace Lutheran Church in Wayland, exploring ideas of engaging faith communities with the earth, theologies of nature and ecology, and outdoor spirituality.

In addition to her work with Peace Lutheran, Mullen volunteers with Joanna Flies of Two Fields Farm to keep her hands in the soil, and will be shadowing Rabbi Katy Allen to learn more about the ways religious leaders can facilitate and encourage healing relationships between people and the natural world around us.

Through this placement with Peace Lutheran, Mullen hopes to continue to discern how her deeply rooted passions for growing food and nurturing human relationships with the earth can be cultivated into sustainable, vocational ministry.
