Mary Earle is an Episcopal priest, author, poet, retreat leader and spiritual director.
Until her retirement, she taught classes in spirituality for the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas. Mary has authored ten books; the subjects include the spirituality of living with illness, rule of life, Celtic Christian spirituality, the Desert Mothers, and Julian of Norwich. Her latest is a book of her poetry, Did You Sing Your Song?
Mary has offered presentations and retreats in a variety of ecumenical settings. She currently serves as faculty for the Forest Dweller program (spirituality for the “wisdom years”) offered by Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio.
Mary and her husband Doug (also an Episcopal priest) live in San Antonio, Texas with their border collie, Fiona, a cat named Xóchi, and lots of garden flora and fauna. Mary is also a knitter and weaver, so her office is full of skeins and balls of yarn. Their son Jason is a professor of French at Sarah Lawrence College in New York.
