SUNDAY SERVICE SPEAKERS
Carla Palmer is an ordained interfaith minister and licensed Unity teacher. She has taught on many levels throughout her careers. She was an environmental educator training high school teachers, a professor of environmental engineering, and now a Unity spiritual teacher and companion.
Carla studied native American shamanism with her Apache teacher of fourteen years and loves to lead sacred ceremonies. Collaborating with creative people is one of her favorite things to do. Rev. Greg Barrette was born and raised in Unity and has been a Unity minister for forty-three years. Formerly the Director of the International Youth of Unity, Greg was elected President of four Unity regions, Vice President of the International New Thought Alliance and has led some of Unity's most successful ministries, including Unity of Delray Beach, Renaissance Unity in Warren Michigan and Unity of Overland Park Kansas. He is a Certified Healthy Congregations Facilitator. Greg currently teaches for the Center for Enlightenment and is a staff writer for Daily Word Magazine. Ryan Hope Travis, or RHT, is a Teacher and a Maker. He is an Assistant Professor at Florida State University and a filmmaker, theatre-maker, actor, and director. His students call him "Teach." And that ideal ("to teach") grounds every aspect of his life. To teach is to learn. And, to learn means you surrender (perpetually) to Divine Mind and the Divine Flow, both of which RHT is devoted. Hank Lewis is a Licensed Unity Teacher (LUT) at Unity of Central Florida in Orlando and is the Spiritual Director of Serving Ministers and Ministries Collaborative. He regularly speaks at Unity churches in the Southeast.
