"A Great Hunger for the Divine” Rev. Stephani Skalak

Ramadan begins this week for our Muslim friends here and around the world. We will take a look this Sunday at what the heart of that practice is. We will also reflect on how approaching our meals with intentionality and attention can enrich our spiritual lives and connect us to the divine and to one another. 

Rev. Stephani Skalak is a hospital chaplain at Providence Portland Medical Center. For many years, she taught media literacy and documentary film production to youth in high schools, community centers, and drug rehab programs. Along the way she co-founded the Portland Women's Film Festival (POW Fest), meaning that she has watched many, many hours of amateur films. She spent most of her twenties working for the Peace Corps in both Washington, DC, and in Mali, West Africa. She earned her Master of Divinity from Meadville Lombard, a Unitarian Universalist seminary in Chicago, and her BA in International Relations from The American University in Washington, DC. She lives in Portland with her spouse Mark, their two children (Ukiah and Seneca) and two very squirrely cats (Agatha and Brimstone).
