People's Musician & Doctor of Ministry: Linda Allen

Linda Allen

Linda Allen was called to my attention by Peter Alsop. Linda has all the credentials that speak to me. She has 5 decades of experience as a people's musician. She combines a piercing mind & and capacious heart, with room enough for all. And she won her Doctor of Ministry degree with a dissertation called, “The Bridge Between the Earth and Sky: The Spirituality of Voice”, leading to her ordination as an interfaith minister in 2006. And, of course, Linda's songs are moving and memorable, crafted so that her listeners can sing along and carry the songs home ringing in their hearts and vibrating in their throats. Linda Allen joins us from Bellingham, Washington.

Past/present religious/spiritual influences: Baptist, Lutheran, UU-United Universalist, UCC-United Church of Christ, Creation Spirituality, Matthew Fox
