The Rev. Elaine Julian was born, raised and educated in Alberta, started her family and professional librarian career in Saskatchewan, and finally fetched up on the west coast. She worked in public and regional libraries for 38 years, retiring in 2012 from Vancouver Island Regional Library. Her second vocation led to a Master of Divinity degree from St. Andrew’s College in Saskatoon, followed by three years ministry with Cumberland United Church. Now semi-retired, she watches the tides change from the home she shares in Campbell River with her spouse Harvey Kimball, two cats and one dog. She is privileged to be the Pastoral Charge Supervisor for DIUC and to lead worship there on a regular basis. See Elaine’s Reflections.
