Molly Cooke

Molly Cooke is a cradle-dreidel Episcopalian from an inter-religious family in southeastern Pennsylvania and a postulant for the priesthood in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio. Prior to discerning a call to ordained ministry, Molly earned her Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics from Georgetown University and worked as a research coordinator studying language acquisition in d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing children at THE Ohio State University. She currently serves her academic community as a disability peer mentor, the senior chapel minister of Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, and the ombudsperson of Delta Alpha Pi (Yale’s disability honor society), and somehow still finds time to engage her passion for biblical languages. Molly envisions her future ministry as one where she helps create accessible spaces for all people of God to worship, educates her siblings in Christ about Judaism, and gets to spend time nerding out about the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer.
