“Hope is Molting” with Pastor Lora Powell-Haney
Feeling generally tired, not exactly in despair, but not fully optimistic for the country, the world, the next week? This might be “hope fatigue,” an emotional exhaustion that occurs when expectations for the future are unmet. Contrasting this tiredness with Emily Dickinson’s vision of hope as an enduring, self-sustaining force, we’ll explore ways to cope with hope fatigue and nurture our collective spirits.
Lora Powell-Haney (she/her), MDiv, has served three congregations as a religious educator and multiple Central East Region congregations as an itinerant preacher and officiant. Pastor Lora served as our anchor minister during Rev. Jane’s sabbatical in 2025. She will be ordained into Unitarian Universalist ministry on October 4, 2026, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick. Her favorite spiritual practices include yoga and meditation, drinking tea, walking labyrinths, and standing barefoot on the earth.
