| The Boone Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is an intentionally diverse and tolerant group offering refuge to those searching for spiritual and intellectual growth without regard to past religious histories, personal background, or social status. We cherish reason, freedom of religion and thought, and embrace democratic principles. We dedicate our membership, facilities, and staff to be a presence and influence in our community, to make a difference socially, ethically, and spiritually. There are seven principles which Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote:
•Justice, equity and compassion in human relations; •Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations; •A free and responsible search for truth and meaning; •The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large; •The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all; •Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. |

Greetings to all of our visitors, members and friends.....
For those who do not know me well, I am a nature lover, a student of the earth, a music enthusiast, and a writer. I hike
and kayak to play and relieve my stress, and I journal and meditate to stay centered. With my partner Cath, I am learning
to simplify my lifestyle so that we can live in closer harmony with the earth. I also care for people, and my day job is
Director of Pastoral Care at Watauga Medical Center, where I have worked for 12 years. My religious and spiritual life is
constantly evolving; I began as a Baptist, where I was trained and ordained. I am still a member of the Alliance of
Baptists, a peace-and-justice oriented group of liberal Baptists based in Washington, DC. Since 2002, I have been a
member of and minister in the more liberal United Church of Christ. And as my spirituality continues to grow, I find more
and more commonalities with those known as Unitarian-Universalists, which is why I am particularly excited about this
opportunity to work with you all.
Though I am not officially a Unitarian-Universalist, I believe in the serendipity of this past Easter Sunday, when my
speaking at BUUF led to becoming your Ministerial Consultant. I believe that diversity makes us strong. I believe that
community makes us strong. I believe that each of us is on a journey seeking wholeness and fulfillment, and that along
that way, each of us can use some encouragement from time to time.
