Hi, my name is Melynne.
I’m a writer, author, and minister following my own map.
As a minister in the United Methodist Church I have spent most of my career outside the church—first as a university chaplain and now as a creative spiritual writer.
In the space between religion and spirituality is where I feel most at home, and it is where I have found my calling to affirm and nurture the (non-religious) spiritual life of those who have left religion or were never a part of it to begin with.
When I say “spiritual” I’m describing that part of us that yearns for connection filled with meaning and purpose—within ourselves, with others (which may or may not include God), and with the greater good.
I hope my writing nurtures that part of you.
