Lauren Antonian

I am originally Christian , and have a deep reverence for the traditions of the Armenian Apostolic Church in which I grew up. My faith has expanded over the years to embrace love as a true north, preaching love and compassion to all. I believe in a higher power, whether it is called God, the Universe or whatever else each person chooses. I welcome all, regardless of diverse backgrounds (age, races, sex, sexuality, gender identity, ethnic/cultural background). I have a deep sense of respect for the ceremony of funerals, as I believe this is the commensurate moment of telling one's life story, reflecting on it and appreciating the life that was lived.
