Rev. T.C. Morrow serves as Pastor of Public Witness and Ecumenical Connection at Foundry. A
lifelong United Methodist, T.C. is firmly rooted in the Wesleyan tradition of the Christian
family and has a passion for equipping people to put their faith into action for the sake of
building up the kingdom of God. In her volunteer clergy role at Foundry, she helps people get
more involved in justice ministries, both in identifying what they are most passionate about and
the specific ways they might engage. She helps the Foundry community engage with other United
Methodists and in ecumenical and interfaith collaborations in DC and beyond.
T.C. and her wife first joined the Foundry community in 2002 while students at Wesley
Theological Seminary. Both cradle United Methodists, they wanted to find a United Methodist
congregation that would welcome them as a couple and allow them to share their gifts.
While in college, T.C. served two summers as a ministerial intern with the former Central
Pennsylvania Conference of the UMC. With these Summer of Service experiences and engagement in
campus ministry groups, T.C. discerned a call to full-time Christian service and ordained
ministry. Moving to DC in August of 2001 to start at Wesley Theological Seminary, T.C. was
blessed to have Rev. Dr. J. Philip Wogaman, Foundry’s senior minister at the time, as a
professor that fall.
While a seminary student, T.C. interned with Bread for the World and in her final year of
seminary in late 2004, she started working at a theology and public policy organization. In
addition to equipping people of faith to advocate for nuclear disarmament and respond to climate
change, in her time at the Churches’ Center for Theology and Public Policy she staffed the
founding of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT) in 2006. In 2009
transitioned to NRCAT’s staff full-time where she continues in primary appointment today as
Director of Finance & Operations.
With deep family roots in Pennsylvania, she spent much of elementary school in Garmisch, Germany
and a year in Alexandria, VA. She then returned home to sixth grade with those whom she had
started kindergarten in Perry County, PA. Attending four and a half years of elementary school
on a U.S. Army base greatly shaped her worldview, particularly the diversity of fellow students
compared to her almost exclusively Christian and White hometown. With her family she travelled
extensively through western and eastern Europe during the waning years of the Cold War, and she
loves to travel to this day.
In 2022, T.C. was approved for full membership and ordination as a Deacon by the clergy session
of the Baltimore-Washington Conference of The United Methodist Church. She was ordained by
Bishop LaTrelle Easterling on June 3, 2022. She holds a M.Div. from Wesley Theological Seminary
and a BA in Physics from Vassar College.
T.C. is the communications chair for the Baltimore-Washington Area Reconciling United
Methodists, a group working to ensure the full participation of people of all sexual
orientations and gender identities in the ministry and life of the United Methodist Church,
particularly in the Baltimore-Washington Conference.
T.C. and her wife serve as foster parents with the Prince George’s County Department of Social
Services. T.C. has a love of jigsaw puzzles, skiing, and science fiction. She and her wife love
walking to nearby Lake Artemesia. You might find them walking with their cell phones in hand
playing Pokémon Go or find T.C. on Discord arranging play with others.
