In recent years, the ESR community has been blessed with the addition of several couples who have decided to pursue seminary studies together. In this series, we will profile our current couples-in-residence. Below we feature Dan and Jaimie Mudd:
Dan and Jaimie had a
calling to ministries of individual and community renewal. They had cast
longing glances towards attending ESR for an MDiv. Together they began to
deliver retreats on prayer, Meeting and Church renewal as well as Friends
Couple Enrichment. While delivering a workshop at the 2016 Intermountain Yearly Meeting they took time to visit with ESR alum Tracy Davis and ESR Student
Travis Etling. These ESR shining stars urged Jaimie and Dan to call Matt Hisrich and discuss admission possibilities. They called Matt and proceeded to
enter discernment with their anchor committee. Within weeks they were admitted,
enrolled, moved to Richmond as Cooper Scholars and began studies. Whew!
They
love sharing their lives as a couple with ESR and with Richmond. Dan’s passion
is creating a safe space for people to explore their spiritual life and
relationship to the divine. His ministry is focused on prayer, spiritual
direction, and the Experiment with Light meditation. Jaimie brings her passion
for the Light within people and organizations into her work with faith
communities across the denominational spectrum. She enables the realization of
faith in action in community and entrepreneurial ministry. Together they
deliver Friends Couple Enrichment Retreats.
