The Rev. Jennifer L. Dalton will be our speaker at Mountain Light Unitarian Universalist Church in Ellijay on Sunday, November 5.  The title of her sermon is: “Listening to the Other”.  In summary, she says: “During my last visit in October we discussed the importance of the skill of listening and connecting with others.  But how do we listen, how do we bring ourselves to connect to those who are espousing ideas we vehemently oppose?  How do we listen to that which is absolutely abhorrent; how do we listen when we hear that which challenges the very core of our beliefs?”

Rev. Dalton was born and raised in the mountains of Virginia.  Spiritually, she was raised Mormon and Southern Baptist.  She spent four years as an aircraft technician in the USAF before completing her bachelor’s degree in political science and, many years later, her Master of Divinity degree from Emory’s Candler School of Theology.  She is currently ordained and recognized by the Alliance of Baptists and considers herself a Unitarian Universalist Baptist.  Jennifer is currently working at Atlanta Medical Center as a chaplain resident.
