“Fearless and Fearful Movement”
Eden Johnson, Guest Preacher
Eden Johnson defines courage as the act of taking what is true and giving it voice despite our fear. We will explore ‘what is true’ and how that truth is in tension with fear.

Eden is the Ministerial Fellow at Metro East UU Congregation in Glen Carbon, Ill. and is on the path to be a credentialed minister. He holds a B.A. in Religious Studies, a Masters in Divinity from Boston University School of Theology and a certificate of Spiritual Direction in Politicized Healing from Still Harbor.
