NAN'S PORTFOLIO

OPENING UP

On this website you will see references to

Unitarian Universalism.

I have served Unitarian Universalist

churches for over 20 years and it is my faith

tradition, which you will see referenced in my

Professional Portfolio below.

I am a Unitarian Universalist Affiliated

Lay Community Minister with

United First Parish Church, The Church of the

Presidents, in Quincy, Massachusetts USA.

For those in Scotland, you may not know about

this faith tradition, as it is not as common as other

faiths in the UK. Here is a very brief explanation:

Unitarians belief that reason, and not

creed, defines the search for truth and meaning.

Universalists believe that God

embraces all people equally.

Unitarian Universalists believe that truth and

spiritual meaning can be found in all faiths.

Unity in One Love.

Synchronicity is a term originally coined

by psychologist Carl Jung that refers to

"deeply meaningful coincidences

which mysteriously occur in your life"
