Erica L. Vinskie joined Metanexus in 2005 after earning the B.A. in Religion summa cum laude from Temple University where she is currently enrolled in a graduate program in religious studies.Erica�s undergraduate work concentrated on the psychology of religion and religious perspectives on death and dying. As a graduate student, and through her work at Metanexus, Erica continues to build on this foundation. She has also become increasingly interested in the potential for interreligious dialogue and postmodern and feminist theologies to transform the Catholic Church in the 21st Century. While Erica�s vocation is the study of religion, her longtime avocation lies in decorative arts & crafts and design. In both her professional and private life, she draws much inspiration from her Catholic tradition and from world religions living and ancient. Erica is a native of the Anthracite Coal Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania and now resides in the Delaware Valley. |
