I’ve started a new ministry with two other Unitarian Universalist colleagues, the Rev. Lori Hlaban and the Rev. Elizabeth Marsh. It is a professional network on a website—- serving individuals who want to have commitment ceremonies or weddings. Our website is:

If you are a fellow UU colleague who is fellowshipped and ordained, we would welcome you joining us! Please check us out and pass around our link to those who might be interested!

Requests

revelizabeth — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 04:59:03 +0000

I’ve had a lot of requests for my sermons lately, so I will attempt to be more consistent about posting them regularly. Don’t be surprised if you find the same themes and concepts running through them—the same ideas often run through my head with new stories attached over and over. Enjoy! We’re working on podcasting next.
