Rev. Lori on Sabbatical July/August 2009 – Rev. Irene Anton joins us for the duration... Farewell to Rev. Lori... for a little while!
Rev. Lori has served in a position of spiritual leadership at Unity of London for nine years this September. In this time she has delivered about 378 Sunday lessons, conducted us through 9 Advent and Easter seasons, performed more weddings and funerals than she can count, taught many classes and workshops and shared in many counselling sessions. She has also attended about 12 or 13 conferences, travelled to Unity Village for numerous training sessions and served on the International Convention Team and the Canadian Association of Unity Church’s Board! In her last article in Unity of London's bi-monthly newsletter, Inner Spark, she shared, "All throughout Jesus’ ministry he went apart to pray and connect with “the Father within.” He knew the value of alone time which allowed him to reflect on his life, recharge his energies and get in touch with his enthusiasm for ministry once again. On her time away during the sabbatical her main focus is for rest, fun, rejuvenation and tapping into Divine Inspiration that she can share with all of us. Her intention is to return well rested and fired up to do ministry once again. Following our service on Sunday, June 28th, we held a pot-luck luncheon to celebrate Rev. Lori's years of devoted service to our community and to infuse her with our love, appreciation, best wishes and positive intentions for a fulfilling, renewing and rewarding sabbatical journey. We affirm her journey will be a great success, not only for her, but for the whole community. We look forward to seeing her again when she returns to our Sanctuary to conduct the service on Sunday, September 13th. Welcome Rev. Irene!
Rev. Irene is a retired educator – a former high school teacher, principal and director of education and has also worked as a management consultant with large corporate and non-profit clients. In her personal life she was fascinated by the human potential movement in the 70’s, curious about the body/mind connection. Although an avowed atheist for more than a decade she was intrigued by religion and its impact on individuals and societies and has studied various world faith traditions. This led her to the New Thought movement, the Course in Miracles, meditation and eventually to Unity. Rev. Irene believes that there are many paths to God or Spirit and each of us is truly our own theologian. Nonetheless, she also believes that rituals, group activities, and celebrations inspire us and nurture our inner beings. It is from this perspective that she is excited about sharing her thoughts and experiences with us here at Unity of London. Please join us in extending a loving, warm and hearty "Unity of London" welcome to Rev. Irene! |
