Between Being Angry and Taking Action: A Fine Line
March 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person
Rev. Elizabeth Harding
International Women’s Day means different things in different countries.  In the United States, being a woman is super complicated! Emotional, physical and other kinds of labor sometimes define the parameters of what women can accomplish. All the labor that goes into womanhood can lead to unresolved feelings about our relationships. How do we manage that anger and other feelings? Is it possible to channel that anger into spiritually driven social action?

 Bio: The Reverend Elizabeth A. Harding grew up at the Second Unitarian Church of Chicago(2U). 2U ordained her in 2007. Married to Kevin, they have two boys, Lucas and Simon. In the recent past, Elizabeth has served as a parish minister, hospice chaplain, hospital chaplain, bereavement counselor, and now she is a palliative care chaplain at the UIC Hospitals part-time. Elizabeth grew up a Chicago Cubs fan and believes their theological purpose is to teach us about suffering…and hope. Elizabeth went to theological school with both the Rev. Mathew Johnson and Rev. Bret Lortie, and now serves with them in a regional capacity.
