Tina Francis
Tina Francis is pursuing her MDiv at Seminary of the Southwest as a Postulant for Holy Orders from the Diocese of Olympia. Born to South Indian parents and raised in Dubai, she grew up at the crossroads of South Asian and Middle Eastern cultures. At 17, she moved to Canada, where she earned a B.A. in communications and a diploma in television broadcasting. Her storytelling career has spanned photography, writing, television, radio, and public speaking. Her faith deepened at the Living School for Action and Contemplation, where teachers like Richard Rohr taught her to embrace the mystery of God’s presence and live into the questions. She now serves at St. Julian of Norwich Episcopal Church in Austin, where she shares life with her husband and their son. She loves her mother’s masala chai, the great indoors, and poetry.
