Patricia
Blaze Clark was born and
raised in Pennsylvania in the Roman Catholic tradition
and spent eleven years as a member of a Religious Congregation
of Sisters. Now a member of the Episcopal Church, she began
writing hymn texts while in seminary and later attended
a hymn-writing workshop at St. Olaf College. After receiving
a Master of Divinity degree from the Episcopal Theological
Seminary of the Southwest, she served for five years on
staff at Good Shepherd Church, Austin, Texas, working in
the areas of Communications, Spirituality, Liturgy, and
Christian Formation. While no longer a staff employee,
she, along with her husband, sings in the Good Shepherd
Choir and Evensong Choir. Devoting a good portion of time
to writing, she also provides retreat, workshop, teaching
and consulting leadership in the areas of liturgy, church
music, and spirituality. Several of her hymn poems have
found their way into various hymnal supplements as well
as anthem settings. She brings to her hymn-writing a long-time
love affair with hymnody and poetry.
