Jordan Haynie Ware Jeopardy Contestant Profile

Jordan Haynie Ware is an Anglican priest, rector, archdeacon, author, podcaster, and Episcopal bishop candidate based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She serves as Archdeacon for Justice in the Anglican Diocese of Edmonton and as Rector of Good Shepherd Anglican Church, roles she has held since September 2020 and September 2017 respectively. She was identified by the Diocese of Edmonton as The Ven. Jordan Haynie Ware and was announced as a candidate for election as the 9th Bishop of the Diocese of Olympia in Washington state. Her work is described as being rooted in preaching, team-building, interfaith collaboration, neighborhood organizing, racial justice, reconciliation, and sharing the Christian gospel with people both inside and outside the church. She has also emphasized reconciliation with Indigenous communities on Treaty 6 territory and worked with Black members of her congregation to co-found Faith Spaces | Safe Spaces, a multi-faith network focused on racial justice and reconciliation within and across faith traditions.

Ware was born and raised in Texas in an ecumenically mainline Protestant family and later became Episcopalian through the Episcopal Student Center at the University of Texas at Austin. She was among the first women ordained in the former Diocese of Fort Worth. After graduating from Yale Divinity School with a Master of Divinity in Anglican Studies, she served in a number of ministry and academic roles, including Associate Priest for Youth and Young Adult Ministry at All Saints’ Episcopal Church from July 2013 to August 2017, Seminarian at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Chapel Minister at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, Magee Fellow at Dwight Hall, Chaplain Intern at Children’s Medical Center, and Academic Affairs Office Assistant at Yale Divinity School. Earlier in her career, she also worked as a Missioner with The Panama Project, an Acquisitions Intern at Yale University Press, a Human Resources Coordinator at Carlson Restaurants Inc, a Bookseller at Barnes & Noble, and a Volunteer Teacher of English as a Foreign Language with the United States Peace Corps.

In addition to parish and diocesan leadership, Ware has built a public profile as a writer and speaker. She is the author of The Ultimate Quest: A Geek’s Guide to (the Episcopal) Church, a book said to have led multiple readers toward baptism and confirmation, and she co-created and co-hosts the Two Feminists series of podcasts, including Two Feminists Annotate the Bible, which has helped thousands of listeners re-imagine their relationship with the Bible. Her writing reflects her theological interests, including confession, forgiveness, vulnerability, repentance, and pastoral care. In one published article, she described private sacramental confession as one of the greatest privileges of priestly ministry and reflected on the moral seriousness of the Seal of the Confessional, pastoral listening, and what a seminary professor called “holy forgetfulness.” She has also written for Young Clergy Women International, where she was described as a Texan transplant to Edmonton serving as rector of Good Shepherd Anglican Church.

Her educational and professional development includes a Nonprofit Management Executive Certificate from Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy in 2024 and study in Foundations of Christian Leadership at Duke Divinity School from 2023 to 2024. Her Yale Divinity School degree was completed from 2010 to 2013 with a reported grade of 3.82, and her activities included Young Women Seminarians, Episcopal Evangelism Network, Yale Committee on Community Engagement, and Seminarians for Reproductive Justice. Her listed skills include Spanish, French, Ukrainian, Koine Greek, liturgical design, piano, flute, singing, preaching, and Safeguarding God’s Children training. She also lists English, Spanish, and French among her languages, received recognition through the Preaching Excellence Program II in June 2016, and has publications including The Ultimate Quest: A Geek’s Guide to (the Episcopal) Church, Two Feminists Annotate the Bible, and Imago Dei and Fantasy Religions: Defeating Violence Against Women Throughout the Realms. Personally, she lives on Treaty 6 territory with her spouse, Derek Ware, who works as a science museum educator, and Hobbes, their retired racing greyhound and designated church dog. Her interests include reading, communal singing, tabletop roleplaying games, hiking, horses, and baking.
