Rev. Miriam (Mimi) Bush

In June of 2007, the earth shifted. It was not an earthquake measured by seismologists, but an inner disruption that changed everything. I was 52 years old and co-pastor with my husband, Mark, having served our ministry years together at the same small urban congregation. We had raised 3 children and together had grown up as our congregation taught us how to pastor and to preach. But something shifted in me. It was like a bell ringing, saying, “Wake up”. I loved pastoring, preaching, teaching and experiencing generational transitions with a faith community. There was nothing “wrong” or “bad” happening, but it was clear to me, something was moving me in a new way.  2008 would be a year of discernment and letting go of a shared ministry and clarity of vocation.

​

January of 2009 began as a year of listening for and to inner yearnings and the unfolding of vocation in new directions; inviting personal transformation. With the help and support of many other travelers, the Spirit invited the birth of The Center for Spirituality, Action, and Transformation, creating opportunities to change the world from the inside out, beginning with myself and inviting others along on the journey. It  has become a journey to see the Divine in everyone and everything everyday.
