KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The service at the Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County on Sunday, Feb. 5, is entitled, "Appeasing the Hungry Ghosts: Healing the Moral Injuries of War."

The service begins at 11 a.m. at the Kelseyville Methodist Church, 3810 Main St. in Kelseyville.

Guest speaker Carrie Knowles-Hance says of the service, “As tens of thousands of servicemen and women return from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we need to understand their wounds that go beyond PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, and wounds to the body. To bring the warriors all the way home, they need a community that can heal with understanding and empathy.”

This service will consider how we may become that community.

Dr. Knowles-Hance, a former resident of Lake County, graduated from Starr King seminary in 2010 and is a candidate for fellowship as a Unitarian Universalist minister. She describes herself as a “recovering psychologist and recovering attorney.”

During seminary, she served as chaplain at Napa State Hospital, and at Stanford and UCSF Medical Centers.

Her current work is with veterans, serving as chaplain to Swords to Plowshares in the San Francisco Presidio, consultant to the Coming Home Project, and member of the Board of the Interfaith Center in the Presidio.

Guests are encouraged to attend the service to learn more about the traditions of Unitarian Universalism.
