What qualities and what emotional and spiritual resources must we develop to remain steadfast as the pandemic continues and uncertainty reigns? Healthcare chaplain, Rev. Megan Lloyd Joiner, joins us as we consider “grit” as a quality of resilience that requires both imagination and creativity.
Rev. Joiner serves as a Compassion Centered Spiritual Health Fellow at Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University, and is the Affiliated Community Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta (UUCA). She is a board-certified chaplain and an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister with a B.A. in Religious Studies from Wesleyan University, Middletown CT, and an M. Div. from Union Theological Seminary, New York City. She completed her Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) internship and residency at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, New York City. She served as a parish minister for eight years in Connecticut congregations before moving to Atlanta with her husband and daughter in the summer of 2019. The family welcomed a second daughter in April 2020.
Soul Matters Conversation: Following the service, join in a Soul Matters Conversation on our monthly theme, Story, with members and friends, facilitated by Rev. Larry Peers. This will occur in a breakout room for about 30 minutes or so.
