| Occupation | First Parish of Sudbury - Senior Minister |
| Location | Sudbury, MA, United States |
| Introduction | Rev. Dr. Marjorie has traveled the world, is a self proclaimed geek having worked in technology for years, and more recently has pursued her doctorate and standing as a scholar she writes: “I believe whole-heartedly that each life is a journey from birth to the grave with the potential of living in a genuine, open-minded and open-hearted way in between! As we live these lives, that we have been gifted, we find opportunities to share our personal experiences along the way. This sharing with another is our way to connect and cultivate meaning in our lives. Each experience that we encounter adds to the collective whole, each experience is hand crafted, refined with care, compassion, and love. Each of our life stories reveals who we are, our wisdom, and our deeper humanity. My call as a minister is to help those in my care to realize our place in the order of things and to call each of us, including myself, to embrace the potential to become our best transcendent selves. “Be present, be mindful, take care and love one another— this is our call to shared ministry.” |

Unlike a dog, how can a turtle ever be naked?
Hmmmm interesting question... I would think a turtle might feel naked when it flips upside down. Isn't that the same feeling as being naked? That sense of vulnerability...
