About Molly Baskette
Molly Phinney Baskette has served as senior minister of First Church Berkeley in California, a congregation nicknamed the Motley Pew because its pews bring together very different people. She earlier worked at First Church Somerville, where she helped the congregation recover from falling attendance and money troubles. Her books grew out of learning on the job, and they cover church renewal, public confession and parenting that keeps science and research in view. A later book offers spiritual guidance on post-traumatic growth and joy. She is also a mother, spouse, cancer survivor and keen home cook.
