“Day of the Dead”
We celebrate the Day of the Dead as a time to recall and honor those who have died. We bring photographs and flowers to remember them on this occasion. This Mexican
holiday is somewhat like a joyful family reunion – with dead ancestors the guests of honor.
Reverend Marsha Mitchiner was ordained by us, the First Existentialist Congregation, after several years of study with founding minister R. Lanier Clance. Today she is part of the connective tissue of our congregation, holding together disparate elements, reaching out to folks whom we haven’t heard from recently, and comforting those who need support. She plays in the dirt whenever she can, refreshes herself with her partner on trips to the Georgia mountains, and shares her thinking with us several times each year.
