Christine
Walsh is
Director of Religious Education for Eastrose Fellowship as of December
2008.
Her Unitarian Universalist Religious Education experience includes
working for Wy’east Unitarian Universalist Congregation as their
Director of Religious Education and volunteering for many years as a
teacher and committee member.
She began her Unitarian Universalist path in 1993, the year her
daughter was born. Christine used the Yellow Pages to search for an
alternative to Catholicism. Her initial choice was the First Unitarian
Universalist Church of Nashville. She and her husband knew they had
found something amazing and wonderful after attending their first
service. And because it really is a small UU world, the minister of
this congregation was none other than David Maynard.
Christine moved to Portland from Nashville, Tennessee in the fall of
2007 with her husband and their daughter. They live in Northeast
Portland were they enjoy biking together and watching old movies.
She began her career in education at age seven when she taught her
younger brother to read. Since then, Christine has worked as an English
high school instructor, a grammarian at a college writing lab, a nanny,
and a certified Montessori instructor for children ages three to six.
Her passion for children is equaled only by her passion for animals.
Her pets include an Appaloosa mare, three dogs, three cats, two
cockatiels, and four land hermit crabs.
