had a passion to integrate all aspects of her life with
her faith. Kathy and her husband Paul were founding
members (in 1978) of the C.S. Lewis Institute (www.cslewisinstitute.org)
in Washington DC. The Institute is established to educate
lay Christians in theology and assist them to apply
a Christian mindset to all areas of life; both professional
and personal. She has also served for several years

walking with friends.
Kathy was blessed to have
grown up in a Christian household and to have made a
personal profession of faith during her high school
years. Her favorite Bible passage is Colossians 1:15-20
which describes the supremacy of Christ and ends with
"For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell
in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all
things whether things on earth or things in heaven,
by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross."
