About the Ministers
Rev. Glenda and Rev. Judy have traveled together in ministry for over 10 years. Initially, when Glenda held a deep desire to enter ministry, Judy accompanied her to support that dream and to be a beneficial presence. It wasn't long before they became not only devoted friends but also enthusiastic companions in ministerial studies; thereby facilitating one another's becoming ordained and eventually founding ministers of Common Ground.
As founding ministers of the spiritual community they wear many different hats and play a myriad of roles. They are fully capable of functioning singly. Yet, they choose to function as a finely tuned team, which allows them to express their individual and unique styles within the framework of an integrated and balanced whole.
Each of them comes from a very strong background of personal skills, professional expertise and wealth of experience. Prior to ministry Rev. Glenda gained an extensive background in sales and administration. And, Rev. Judy had been a proprietor in business for over twenty years.
Both Rev. Glenda and Rev. Judy are resourceful and willing to experiment with the novel. They are extremely practical and at the same time they are open to complex solutions, including advanced technology and innovative approaches. They are open, authentic, transparent, available and emotionally above-board. They are not emotionally needful and have no need for status, exhibitionism or displays of power.
In co-creating this shared ministry they have been willing to put themselves on the line and take full responsibility for its forward movement and clear direction. These core competencies support their deep desire to blend and harmonize the interests of individuals and also consider the good of the greater collective.
They easily shift into awe, reverence and humility; and find it natural to re-enter life with a fresh perspective after having stepped away into periods of contemplation. When in their presence, there is a sense of wonder and playful delight with all of life. It is clear they are having fun and at the same time they demonstrate a depth that comes from an inner-directed core.
