Alison Cheek
Alison Mary Cheek is a religious leader, known for being one of the first women ordained in the Episcopal Church and the first woman to publicly celebrate the Eucharist in that denomination.
==Early life and education==
Cheek was born 11 April 1927 in Adelaide, South Australia, where she graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1947〔Episcopal Clerical Directory 2011, p. 161〕 and married her economics tutor, Bruce Cheek.〔Bird (2013)〕 The couple moved to Boston for his fellowship at Harvard University and then back to Australia two years later. They returned to the United States in 1957 when Bruce was hired by the World Bank in Washington, D.C.〔
Cheek had become active as a lay leader at St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Annandale, Virginia, when her rector encouraged her to take some classes at Virginia Theological Seminary because she was increasingly being asked to lead programs at the church.〔McDaniel, p. 23〕 She was admitted into the seminary's B.D. program in 1963 with no intention of seeking ordination, but suddenly felt a call to become a priest while on a retreat.〔McDaniel, p. 24〕 With four young children at home, her bishop dissuaded her from considering ordination, and it took her six years to complete her degree part-time.〔
