 Christine
has been serving as the Director of Religious Education for Children
and Youth for Eastrose Fellowship Unitarian Universalist since December
2008.
She worked as the Director of Religious Education for Wy'east Unitarian
Universalist Congregation in Portland before joining our Eastrose
staff.
She has been a Unitarian Universalist since 1993 when she and her
husband, Shawn Walsh, joined the First Unitarian Universalist Church of
Nashville in March of that year. Reverend David Maynard was the
minister of this congregation in Tennessee, and he performed the
dedication ceremony for their daughter Lena Walsh.
Christine
fell in love with teaching when she was seven years old and played
school with her younger brother Robert. She, of course, was always the
teacher! He was a good sport and a quick study and began reading before
he went into kindergarten. Since then, Christine has worked as a
grammarian at a college writing lab, a high school English teacher, a
private nanny, and a certified Montessori instructor.
She lives
in Northeast Portland with her husband, daughter, three dogs, three
cats, and two cockatiels.
Christine loves being a Unitarian Universalist because our faith offers
a message of hope and love while empowering and supporting its members
to create the world of peace and justice we all want.
