Assistant Editor

Bromleigh McCleneghan Any time she’s not at work, she’s trying to spend quality time with her husband, chase her preschooler, nurse her infant, refrain from killing her ever-barking dog, keep up with friends, read, and write. In addition to editing The Jesus Review, she routinely writes for Theolog, the blog of The Christian Century.

The Jesus Review

As a native New Mexican, Corein lives for Minnesota summers and loves biking on the Wobegon Trail, going to the farmer’s market, and attending as many small town parish festivals as humanly possible.
