The Reverend Elaine Farmer was ordained in 1993, among the earliest women ordained to the priesthood in the Anglican Church of Australia. She has served in several parishes, taught homiletics and ministry formation, and been Associate Editor of St Mark’s Review, Australia’s oldest theological journal.

With a specialized ministry in homiletics, she has preached in Anglican dioceses around Australia, New Zealand and other countries, including most recently in 2018 at Westminster Abbey. She has been invited to preach on numerous occasions since 1997 in Episcopal churches in the United States, particularly in New York, and including St Thomas Church Fifth Avenue.

Elaine now lives in Canberra, Australia, with her husband, Bill, at the conclusion of his diplomatic career which included appointments as Ambassador in Mexico, Cuba, the Central American Republics, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia and Indonesia.
