Our Facilitator - The Rev. Frankie Oliver
The planning
committee welcomes Frankie Oliver as our Desert Adventure Facilitator. An
ordained clergywoman in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), she has
trained extensively in Spiritual Disciplines and growth, guidance and
counseling, as well as community organization. Frankie has always believed in
and been involved in the ecumenical movement. Highlights of that ministry are
her leadership as past president of the Tucson Ecumenical Council and first
chairperson of the Pima County Interfaith Council, a community organization
committed to social justice. She was the worship coordinator for the 1994
Disciples' Women's Quadrennial Assembly and for the 2002 CWU Regional Assembly.
Frankie is a beloved CWU Valiant Woman.
