Coffee with Sarah Trone Garriott

Rev. Sarah Trone Garriott is the Coordinator of Interfaith
Engagement for DMARC, The Des Moines Area Religious Council, from
which we grabbed the following biography!


"Sarah works with the diverse faith communities of the greater
Des Moines area to support the mission of DMARC, while also
creating resources and opportunities to support faith communities
in their work. Sarah also partners with The Comparison
Project at Drake University in their efforts for interfaith
awareness, dialogue, and scholarship.


"As an AmeriCorps VISTA working for Northern New Mexico Legal Aid
in Gallup, New Mexico, Sarah engaged community and faith leaders
around the issue of Domestic Violence. As a hospital chaplain in
Philadelphia and Chicago, Sarah supported patients and staff of
all religious backgrounds. In parish ministry, first in rural
Virginia and later in suburban Des Moines, it was her priority to
build relationships beyond the church building and work together
with interfaith partners.


"Sarah holds a BA in History from the College of St. Scholastica,
a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School, a
Master of Divinity from the Lutheran School of Theology at
Chicago, and ordination through Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America (ELCA).

Thank you to Sarah for coming on the show and for the courage to
follow the full range of her callings! After our interview I had
further opportunities to browse DMARC, The Comparison Project,
and the Iowa Interfaith Exchange and they are very exciting
projects! Be sure to check there for ideas and, in particular,
the spring gathering of the Iowa Interfaith Exchange. The 2017
event appears to have been free so please participate if it is at
all possible for you.
