Led by Rev Diane Fisher
Rev. Elder Diane Fisher spent 50 years of her professional career involved in human rights and justice work. She will reflect on the 2nd & 6th UU principles, which articulate our commitment to “justice, equity, and compassion in human relationships” and “the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.” Through storytelling and sharing hard-earned wisdom, Diane will reflect on justice as something much more than one-and-done actions, but rather a lifestyle choice and ongoing spiritual practice.
If you were to ask Rev. Elder Diane Fisher to describe herself, she would likely say, “I am a retired lesbian Christian pastor of Metropolitan Community Church, and I am a mother of a fabulous daughter, Karli, and married to Rev. Dr. Kharma Amos, who delights my heart.” In MCC, Diane has been a local church pastor, a district coordinator, an elder, and the Clerk of the Governing Board. She cares deeply about MCC and strongly believes that there is an ongoing need for a queer church in the world. Her passion is working to change systems that encourage or reinforce marginalization of those who have been caught “outside the system.” In her off time, Diane plays with various stringed instruments, creates stained glass pieces, and enjoys camping with her wife Kharma, dog Kady (a Shih-poo), and cat Téa (Maine coon). Along with two beloved “foster-failure kittens,” Annie and Tobert, they all live in Lisbon, Maine.
