Judith Moore von Sicard is a Canadian from St. John’s Newfoundland who spent her adult years working as a United Church of Canada missionary. She’s a graduate of Memorial University, with a teaching certificate from Boston University. Her preparation for mission work was completed at the University of Toronto. She received her Master’s in Religious Education (MRE) at the Hartford Seminary Foundation, Connecticut, U.S.A.

After marrying a Lutheran missionary, Judith raised three children in a changing landscape coloured by the plight of refugees in Cairo, the strength of community in tribal Tanzania, the formalities of Swedish family life, and the conservative tendencies of England. “Beyond the Narrows: Cultural Observations from My Missionary Life” reveals how in each new environment she observes and listens before finding her place as a mentor, teacher, thesis editor, daughter-in-law, missionary wife and finally a teacher of English as a Second Language to immigrants from the communities she’s served.

Now in an active retirement, Judith splits her time between Birmingham, England and Bridgton, Maine where she enjoys the company of her husband, children and grandchildren. Beyond the Narrows is her second book.
