Rev. Dr. Elaine Strawn — “Decentering Self as a Spiritual Discipline”
October 15, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Leader — Reed Richmond
Speaker — Rev. Dr. Elaine Strawn
Title — “Decentering Self as a Spiritual Discipline”
To the Greeks, hubris was the greatest sin. But so much of our religious background has taught us to ignore ourselves, in effort to avoid being prideful. Between self-denial and hubris is humility. It is not a denial of self (we each have great gifts and talents); it is a gentle de-centering of ourselves or the openness to the gifts of others, also.
Bio — Rev. Dr. Elaine served as the settled minister in the UU Fellowship of Wayne County in Wooster for 23 years before semi-retiring. She now co-chairs the regional Commissioned Lay Ministry Council and offers Spiritual Direction to a wide variety of people. Walking, gardening and tai chi keep her grounded and inspired.
Join us downstairs after service for coffee and conversation.
