The Rev. Diane Dowgiert, preaching “RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IS ALL WE DO”
If our UU congregation is where we come to learn how to live our liberal religious values and
principles, then everything we do together is religious education. The great Universalist educator,
Angus McLean, believed that how we teach is more important than what we teach. Or, as McLean would say, the method is the message. How we are together in community and how we embody our covenants — this is religious education.
Rev. Diane Dowgiert serves as interim minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greensboro,NC. She served as minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, AZ for ten years and at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta, OH for five years. Diane is a graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry. With a background in social work, Diane has a passion for responding to the needs of the local community, bringing Unitarian Universalist principles and values to social justice issues. Outside of church, she enjoys hiking and quilting. She has been married to her husband AJ for 42 years. Their family includes two adult sons, one wonderful daughter-in-law, one grand dog, and two adorable cats.
