Ministers

Rev. Ed Conrad

Ed has been a part of the Unity movement for 30 years, almost 25 of those as a Unity minister. He has served Unity communities in Georgia, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Texas. Now, in his 5th year at Unity of the Valley, Ed along with his partner and wife Katherine, greatly appreciates the opportunity that has come to serve and live in Eugene and beautiful western Oregon. His focus continues to evolve into new areas of interest. This includes the healing of the sexual-spiritual disconnect, the emergence of the masculine-feminine balance in life, the latest revelations about prayer, and the relationship between spirituality and science. Along with being alongside their amazing dog Lancelot, Ed and Katherine enjoy all things French, share a love for music and exploring the beauty of Oregon and the Northwest, and aim to live healthy and well.
