The service is a special
one, an exchange “between
the leadership and the con-
gregation and myself,” Zim-
merman said. A reception
with light refreshments will
follow.
While Zimmerman will
be installed today, she’s
been serving as minister
since April 2013, and in
Hood River since Aug. 1,
2014.
“One of the nice things
about being a minister is
that your days are often not
typical,” she said. “There’s
no regularity to it, but there
are some common fea-
tures.”
Her day starts with cof-
fee, the newspaper, and
prayers.
“I will usually do some
sort of prayer, spiritual

at the Salem Legislature.
Speakers including Page
Atcheson, Field Director for
Oregon Climate, had asked
the council on Feb. 9 to craft
its own resolution on carbon
pricing.
“We’re asking for broad
support of carbon pricing,”
Atcheson said, after city coun-
cilor Mark Zanmiller raised
the question of “have we
looked at the cost to the city?”
A council subcommittee came
up with a draft resolution, re-
quiring minimal staff time to
be spent on the task.
The resolution, modeled on
one passed by the City of Eu-
gene, states that “the City
Council and Mayor under the
Hood River City Charter have
the authority to protect the
health, safety and general wel-
fare of its citizens and is com-
pelled by the scientific consen-
sus that carbon dioxide emis-
sions are the primary cause of
global climate change, and
agrees that climate change is
a crisis demanding immediate
measures to reduce its nega-
tive effects, and the City finds
that climate change is a threat
to public health, national se-
reading and mediation” —
she cites a Buddhist med-
ication practice — “nearly
every day, unless something
unusual happens.
“Most of us do some kind
of prayer early in the day,”
she added.
The biggest portion of
her work involves research-
ing and writing her weekly
sermons.
“We’ve a very lear ned
clergy,” she said. “We want
people to have lots and lots
of graduate education, go to
seminary, but even more
than that is great. Research
takes a lot of time — half of
my work week is sermon
preparation.”
She also has at least one
or two appointments “of
some kind” every day.
“We make jokes, we do
ministry by committee,”
she said. Those meetings re-
cently have involved the
planning of her installa-
tion, consulting with the
Fellowship’s pastoral care
team and lay leaders, meet-
ing with the social justice
curity, food security, and busi-
ness supply chains.
“These societal costs of in-
action are significant and out-
weigh the temporary econom-
ic impacts associated with the
energy transition,” and “the
City believes that assigning a
cost to carbon dioxide emis-
sions is one of the most effi-
cient ways to discourage con-
sumption of fossil fuels and
encourage development of al-
ternatives, and the City finds
that the Legislative Revenue
Office ‘Economic and Emis-
sions Impacts of a Clean Air
Tax or Fee in Oregon (SB306)’,
report #4-14, December 2014 as
well as previous similar
analyses concludes that im-
posing a price on carbon with-
in the State of Oregon could
have relatively small impacts
on the economy and would
significantly reduce green-
house gas emissions.”
The resolution states that
“the City believes that it is im-
portant for communities large
and small to voice both their
recognition of the global prob-
lems of carbon dioxide emis-
sions and their support for
local actions by the State of
Oregon,” and resolves that the
City of Hood River calls on the
Oregon State Legislature to
craft legislation carefully to
impose a carbon price, in the
form of a fee, tax, or cap.

committee and the Colum-
bia Gorge Climate Action
Network, and serving as
vice chair and church rep-
resentative for Gorge Ecu-
menical Ministries (GEM).
Zimmer man is often
called to counsel church
members, usually at the
person’s house. Sometimes
it’s to discuss a recent death
or chronic health issue, or
the loss of a job. She also pe-
riodically makes hospital
calls.
But ministry involves “a
lot of quiet work,” she said.
“A lot of ministry is hidden,
and people don’t see it … it’s
definitely a contemplative
job. But there are times
you’re joyfully people-d out,
but there’s also time to spir-
itually recharge yourself to
do the work to guide others
so they can grow spiritual-
ly.”
Ministry is a profession
she was warned against,
she laughed. And she
agrees. “If you can do any-
thing else but ministry, do it
because ministry is impos-
sible.
“What I mean by that is
that I never feel like I get it
all done and am meeting
everyone’s needs like I’d
ideally like to do. I don’t
know what a 60 hour work
week is like … if you can
find some way to serve the
world but not be a minister,
do it.”
Ministry is Zimmerman’s
second career — her first is
as a psychology professor at
Portland Community Col-
lege, where she’s taught for
over 20 years; many Unitar-
ian ministers are bi-voca-
tional, she explained. That
background “has been a
great help,” she said. “I still
do that; I still teach a little
bit. Eventually I’ ll stop
doing that.”
A former Roman Catholic
who left as a teenager, she
joined the Unitarian church
as an adult in California.
What led her to ministry
was a crisis of faith.
“I was still going to (UU)
church and was active in
my church, but I knew

s o m e t h i n g w a s m a j o rly
wrong with my religious
faith — I had that preverbal
dark night of the soul. I felt
I got a celestial thump on
the head. I had this aware-
ness I needed to be a minis-
ter — it came from really
deep inside when I was in a
terrible place.
“You can’t ignore it; it’s a
pebble in your shoe. I’d
been volunteering part time
as a hospice worker — I was
doing respite care and al-
ready had a connection to
that kind of work.”
Ministry allows her to
grow — her own faith, as
well as that of the commu-
nity she serves.
“We don’t grow alone, we
grow healthy communities
… so we can be the best peo-
ple we can be,” she said. “I
see my job in ministry what
Dr. Martin Luther King
called ‘love community’ —
nurtured membership.
“We also serve the wider
world. It’s a two way street.
I understand not liking
church, but let’s not throw
the baby out with the bath-
water.”
Zimmerman is “living my
own dream.” She gets to
minister in the Columbia
River Gorge, an outdoor
playground. And as an out-
door athlete, she enjoys
spending time in nature, be
that cross country skiing,
road cycling or going for
long walks.
“Being out in nature and
e x e r c i s i n g i s h ow I
recharge,” she said. “I could
be a gym rat, but I want to
be outside.”
