Twinkle has often been called upon in both congregational and women’s circle settings to offer what is all too often missing in denominations: Spirituality! During Covid she was contracted to host online gatherings for just such a purpose.
For those wishing to participate in a covenant group, consider joining the Women’s Spirituality Group on Facebook.

30th Anniversary OF WOMEN AND RELIGION This 2007 archive of the 30th Anniversary Celebration of the Women and Religion Resolution at General Assembly features Presenters: Shirley Ranck, Dorothy Emerson, Laurie James, Helen Popenoe
The worship service recalls the dramatic events leading to the creation and passage of the Women & Religion Resolution at General Assembly 1977 and the resulting significant changes within the Unitarian Universalist movement over the years since then. It offers a wonderful glimpse at the history of Women’s Spirituality in our Faith Tradition, as well as the group gathered joining in ritual and songs. https://www.uua.org/ga/past/2007/31410.shtml
