In this episode of Rolonda on Demand, I introduce you to two of my favorite women of FAITH - Reverend Shannon A. White and Reverend Dr. Terrlyn Curry Avery - both with whom I share a special friendship as the two of them share the pulpit to the pew for social and spiritual change. The two ministers talk about maintaining a mindset of faith and the importance of learning, growing and stretching in these drastic times of change, truth and discomfort.

Shannons introduces herself:

I am a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary with an emphasis in Pastoral Care. Since my ordination in 1990, I have served three other congregations--one in Scarsdale, NY and two in Greenwich, CT. But I felt my call to ministry in another way as well. Wanting to broaden and deepen public discourse on pertinent issues, I became a radio host with a rabbi colleague and then a TV reporter for 9 years. Two of my pieces on incarceration and addiction were nominated for Emmys. I also served as Assoc. Producer for the CBS News Religion Unit, putting together 4 interfaith documentaries a year.

I love to travel to non-touristy places around the world, ride my bike, run and do the NY Times crossword—but only through Wednesday. I have an incredible daughter, Peyton, who attends the University of Delaware. I am the author of How Was School Today? Fine (co-written with my daughter) and The Invisible Conversations with Your Aging Parents.

The Reverend. Dr. Terrlyn L. Curry Avery and I met in India, studying meditation atop Mt. Abu!

Terrlyn is the creator of Pastology, the cutting edge field that focuses on the synergy between pastoring and psychology. She holds a Ph.D. from Hofstra University and a Masters of Divinity from Yale University. She calls herself a pastologist and is a transformational leader, speaker, author and retreat leader. 

Rev. Dr. Terrlyn L. Curry Avery has a unique approach to healing, transformation, and manifestation. She places the emphasis on your journey toward sacred intelligence: your ability to tap into your internal source in order to move toward intelligent choices. Those choices are intended to honor the Sacred and help you manifest your greatness, while simultaneously embracing the humanity of those around you.

Rev. Dr. Curry Avery believes that ‘relating’ on both a spiritual and human level is crucial to helping ourselves and others manifest our greatness and creating more harmonious life sustaining relationships.

Rev. Dr. Curry Avery works with highly influential and committed leaders who need spiritual and psychological support as they transform the world by creating a legacy of service, prosperity, and greatness.

Rev. Dr. Curry Avery is the author of Sacred Intelligence: The Essence of Sacred, Selfish & Shared Relationships and is currently writing her second book with a working title Sacred Intelligence: Leading with Passion and Faith During Unprecedented Times.
