  Jane Tomaine is an Episcopal priest, author and retreat leader. She received a Bachelor of Music degree from Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, and a Master of Music degree from Ohio State University, both in organ performance. Following a career with AT&T she left corporate life, earning both Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from the Theological School of Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. As a part of her doctoral program she introduced the Rule of Benedict to her parish, St. Peter's in Livingston, New Jersey, where she was rector, through a parish-wide study, liturgical, and renewal program. During this program she wrote a book on the Rule of Benedict for her parish, St. Benedict’s Toolbox: The Nuts and Bolts of Everyday Benedictine Living, now available through Morehouse Publishing. Jane currently teaches courses and leads workshops and retreats on the Rule and Benedictine spirituality at parishes and retreat centers, and at the Newark School of Theology. Jane lives in Mountaiside, NJ with her husband John Tomaine, her mother-in-law Ruth and eight independent felines.
