K.L. Joanna Depue (dubbed "DJ" by Barbara Crafton) is an Episcopal deacon and writer of "More or Less Church" on the Farm. She has served in five parishes in the Diocese of New York and been active in on a diocesan level in working with youth. In parishes she has written and directed liturgical drama and radio scripts; she is the rare songwriter who is also her own lyricist, and she is a stand-up comic. She was a chaplain at Ground Zero during the recovery effort after the WTC bombing.
Before her training for the diaconate, Joanna worked in community and regional theatre productions as an actress and musical director. She has held different "worldly" jobs, including working for a company that publishes a law directory, Prentice-Hall publishing catalogue department, dog sitting and training, massage therapy and, for over 27 years until her recent retirement, in the pension department of the United Nations. During her tenure at the United Nations she was appointed by the Secretary-General to the Panel on Discrimination and Other Grievances and was selected as one of six speakers from the UN staff on the occasion of the first commemoration of the WTC bombing.
