Wise Choices

The Rev. Dr. Elaine Strawn – video message

Download the Morning Program here or read it below without having to download it.

Of her remarks, Dr. Strawn write …

As the proverb goes, we are surely blessed by living in interesting times! But a blessing? Joanna Macy writes of the Great Turning; Rutger Bregman’s research reminds us that humans are evolutionarily decent and friendly. What kind of world will you create, will we create? Together, as we calm our fears, we recognize the deep Wisdom within. Together we develop our awareness and flexibility. And together we become a force for transformation. Presented by Rev. Dr. Elaine Strawn, UUA Congregational Life Staff, Central East Region.

Rev. Elaine Strawn (she/her) is an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister, a Spiritual Director, and a facilitator of classes on spirituality and leadership. Prior to working with the Central East Region, she served for 23 years as the minister of a growing UU congregation, a Good Officer for her UUMA Chapter and an adjunct consultant for the Central East Region. Currently she serves as co-chair the region’s Commissioned Lay Ministry Council.

Elaine holds a MDiv from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC and a D Min from Meadville Lombard Theological Seminary in Chicago, IL.  In her past lives, Elaine has been a community organizer, a Fair Housing advocate and the staff development person for Planned Parenthood. Elaine enjoys hiking, gardening and work on Elder Wisdom. Her spiritual practices include Tai Chi, Centering Prayer and small group worship experiences.
