LREDA Professional Day 2009
REvive Yourself!
Wednesday, June 24, 2009
City and state:
Salt Lake City, Utah
Keynote speaker: Rev. Dr. Nancy Crumbine "Religious Education: The Heartbeat of Our Movement." The keynote will explore how spirituality and creativity abound within the anxieties of our lives as educators. To nurture ourselves in ways that keep us centered and healthy in a troubled and broken world, we can manage our difficulties so that we remember what really matters. Bring your spirit, enthusiasm and your voices, as music and humor will permeate her talk.
The Rev. Dr. Nancy Jay Crumbine is a Unitarian Univeralist minister, a professor at Dartmouth College, a writer, actor, and public speaker. She has been a keynote speaker at many UU conferences both in the US and the UK, including Star Island (RE and Arts weeks), UK Hucklow, Silver Bay UU Weekend in New York, and the GA of British Unitarians in Chester, England. She is the author of Humility, Anger, and Grace, Meditations Towards a Life that Matters and The Unitarian Paradox. Her poems appear in two volumes of The Still Poodle Poets.
