Rev. Dr. Elaine Strawn — Mysticism in Real Time
June 11, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Leader — Fonda Kendrick
Speaker — Rev. Dr. Elaine Strawn
Title — Mysticism in Real Time
Topic — In the 13th century of the common era, Rumi wrote this challenge:
You are a mountain full of gold.
Open the mine.
Let the mountain speak.
Hear what happens.
—Rumi (translation by Haleh Liza Gafori)
The mystics of all religious traditions seek an intimate relationship with God. Revelation is always happening. But it comes when we take time to put our assumptions aside and become open to the sacred wisdom within us.
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.
