ANNE MCCRADY - SPIRITUAL SPEAKER

 

For over twenty years, using original stories, poems, and inspirations from global faith traditions, Anne has shared her messsage of open-minded, open-hearted spirituality to worship and spiritual settings in East Texas. Her topics range from theological questions to progressive social concerns to everyday dilemmas and congregational growth. 

She has written and presented a wide range of liturgical material: prayers, songs, sermons, lessons, memorial services, contemporary worship, and wedding text.

Anne's spiritual story is one of growth and exploration. Anne grew up in the Episcopal church and chose the United Methodist Church as a teenager, later raising her children as United Methodists. In her forties, she found her beliefs and messages better fit the Unitarian Universalist tradition, and also developed close ties with her local progressive Jewish temple as well as the Islamic mosque congregation. In addition, she studies poets who are Buddhist.

Anne's sense of the divine is inclusive and compassionate. For Anne, children, Nature, science, social justice, and creativity offer the best glimpses of God.
