He went on to study ministry at a Southern Baptist university in Texas, was ordained a Southern Baptist Minister, and attended Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. After completing a semester there, however, he realized he no longer believed, dropped out, renounced his Christian faith, left the ministry, and began a sixteen-year career in television news and corporate video production. Shortly after marrying his spouse Peggy, in 1988 (whom he met at Southern Seminary), they both became Unitarian Universalists. Ten years later he reentered the ministry at Clifton Unitarian Church. Rev. Eklof holds undergraduate degrees in Philosophy and Communications, a Masters in Religious Studies, and a Doctorate of Ministry, and has been nationally recognized for his activism in the areas of peace and justice, LGBTQ rights and marriage equality, the environment, Restorative Justice and criminal justice reform. He is especially appreciated at UUCS for his insightful and provocative sermons as well as his compassionate heart.

Good Gab Episode 47 With Mary McDirmid, Founder, Special Abilities Network!

"The Story of Special Abilities NetworkSpecial Abilities Network is a team of experts and planners who are members of the special needs community professionally and personally. We’ve made it our life’s work to empower families in the special needs community because we understand what it truly means to wake up in the middle of the night with fears of the future. Traditional planning falls short of meeting the goals of special needs families. In traditional planning, there is little to no coordination amongst experts such as financial planners and attorneys. And there is often no communication between those professionals and the therapists, school professionals, and support team meeting the day to day needs. This means that families must drive the communication, coordination, and planning. We know special needs families have little time on their hands, how can they be expected to drive this process alone?We offer a solution. Our focus is on building you a plan comprised of support, funding, and legal strategies helping you to get the services you need, resources to meet your goals, and the legal guidance that will protect you now and into the future.
