Laura Everett Email & Phone Number

Over the past twelve years, I've led a 118 year old historically white and male-led institution through the change process of diversifying staff, board, and constituency. I'm proud of the dramatic changes in direction and clarity we've come to at the Massachusetts Council of Churches during my time as Executive Director.Additionally, I write for a number of regional and national outlets, including WBUR, Religion News Service and Faith & Leadership. I've written a book published with Eerdman's Press on urban spirituality. My most recent work in teaching and facilitation focuses on the embodied experience of mending. With my colleague Vernée Peacock Wilkinson, we've been teaching mending as racial justice work. We teach with our hands what we long for in our lives: repair. This learning has proven deeply meaning for religious, secular, communal and corporate settings.
