Rev. Diana McLean is compiling a book on LGBTQIA+ stories within Unitarian Universalism, past and present. The book will be published by the UUA’s Skinner House Books and is one of the outcomes of the Rainbow History Project sponsored by the UU Retired Ministers and Partners Association in 2019 in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. Diana will talk about the process of gathering these stories, some of the themes she sees emerging, and what she is learning as she brings the book to publication.

Bio:  The Rev. Diana McLean is a nearly lifelong Unitarian Universalist and a published freelance writer and poet. She earned a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Naropa University in 2009 and a Master of Divinity from Iliff School of Theology in 2016. Before entering the ministry, her career included teaching creative writing to children and adults. She says, “I have always understood my writing as a way to be Love’s voice in the world.” She partners in life and ministry with her wife, Rev. Shay MacKay. Their arts-based entrepreneurial ministry, Sacred Depths, is at www.sacreddepths.com, and she can be reached at diana@sacreddepths.com.
