The Rev. Anna V. Ostenso Moore found the Episcopal Church as a teenager. Sitting by the side of a lake in Northern Minnesota after college graduation, she felt a call to faith formation grounded in community, wonder, Holy mystery, and our Sacred Stories. That call has led her across the Atlantic Ocean and back. She is author of the picture books “Today is a Baptism Day” and “We Gather at This Table,” inspired by the beauty of the families with whom she works. Her educational background includes a BA in Chinese International Studies from Middlebury College, Vermont and an MA in Youth Ministry and Theological Education from King’s College, London. She has served at churches in Surrey, UK and Minnesota. She is currently on the Episcopal Church in Minnesota’s Racial Justice and Healing Formation Team. 

Wife, mother, priest, daughter, sister, aunt, godparent, and friend, her greatest joys include her toddler’s laugh, a good pot of tea with her husband David, and dancing at every opportunity.
