| Introduction | I am an actress, singer, director and community activist who has lived all over the world. Most recently, I lived in New York where I led some music ministries at Church of the Village. For 10 years I was the Music Minister for the United Methodist Church for All People, an intentionally inclusive, cross-class, multi-racial inner city church in Columbus, Ohio. I created and directed Harmony on the Southside, a community-access music performance and education program. I have lived and worked in four countries and the interior of Alaska, much of the time doing community development. I believe that being Christian means speaking truth to power and taking literally Jesus admonition to love the last, the least and the lost. |
