Rev. Linda Buchanan

Linda (pronouns: she/her) is called to serve and lead as Minister at BUC.
Linda is passionate about Biblical Scholarship, taking the Bible seriously and not literally. She loves sharing her faith with children and all ages, trusting in the unconditional and uncontrolling love of God. Linda experiences the Spirit while basking in creation, whether getting lost in the flames of a campfire or dreaming away staring at the stars. She experiences God within all creation, believing that every human being is beloved by Creator.  She is passionate about the Jesus story, having met Christ within many passionate teachers of the Gospel. Her theology is contextual, queer, radical and love affirming. 
​
Linda grew up on the West Island of Montreal and completed a BA and a MA in Theological Studies from Concordia University, before attending the United Theological College to complete a Diploma in Ministries which led to her ordination in 2016. She followed her first call to the Eastern Townships of Quebec, serving a large community church in Sherbrooke for 6 years. In 2022, Linda was called back home, returning to the West Island to serve at BUC.
