Marilyn Sewell is a writer, activist, and spiritual leader. She was named Minister Emerita of the First Unitarian Church of Portland, Oregon, when she retired in 2009 after 17 years as Senior Minister. Threatened with Resurrection is the second of two books of sermons published during her years at the church, following the first popular volume, Wanting Wholeness, Being Broken. Her words of inspiration and hope are based on real experiences and rooted in a depth of spirituality that many, regardless of denomination or creed, find compatible with their own. Dr. Sewell received her PhD in Theology and the Arts from the Graduate Theological Union and the University of California at Berkeley in 1991. She holds a Master of Divinity, an MA in English literature, and a master’s degree in social work. The editor of four well-received anthologies, including the groundbreaking anthology of women's poetry, Cries of the Spirit, she is also the author of A Little Book of Forgiveness and A Little Book of Prayer. Her newest book is a memoir, Raw Faith: Following the Thread, which delves further into the inspiring life story revealed in the acclaimed documentary film, Raw Faith, available on Netflix. Marilyn serves on the adjunct faculty of the Attic Institute, a think tank for writers in Portland, and also is on the adjunct faculty of Maitripa, a Buddhist college in Portland. She writes regularly for the religion section of Huffington Post. The mother of two grown sons, Marilyn lives on the Willamette River with her husband and her cat Molly.
