Mary Laymon
Pastor, Spiritual Director, and Non-Profit Director in Cincinnati, Ohio
I has been pastoring for 20 years. I began my ministry in the Lutheran Church on the East Coast in Maryland and Philadelphia. I now call Cincinnati home. My passion is helping people of all ages know God so they may hear the voice of the holy within them, and experience the healing power of Love.
I have pastored in a variety of settings: the inner city, a rural parish, and middle class suburban congregations. In all these settings have worked with children, youth and families as well as leading retreats and pilgrimages for adults. I currently serve as the associate pastor at St. Thomas Episcopal in Terrace Park, OH. I offer Spiritual Direction to adults wanting to explore their relationship with God. And I am excited about the wonderful healing experiences happening on my farm Tikkun Farm.
My favorite sacred places include the island of Iona off the coast of Scotland, the Celtic monastic ruin, Skellig Michael on an island off the coast of Ireland, and Assateague, the barrier island off the coast of Maryland where I've been camping with my family every summer since I was five years old.
I am the wife of Greg and mother of 18 year old John – musician, writer and college freshman. I enjoy gardening, cooking, traveling, camping and hiking out in God’s “Big Book” – the Celtic way of speaking about creation. But I really love helping others hear the quiet and persistent voice of God speaking love to us.
