Upon returning to Cincinnati to care for her aging mother, Gloria was determined to be a vehicle to help bring Science of Mind Principles to Greater Cincinnati.

Rev. Dee has been the Senior Minister at Center for Spiritual Living Greater Cincinnati since accepting a Letter of Call to be its Spiritual Leader in 2014.
Born and raised in Northern Indiana, Rev. Dee’s spiritual journey began in the United Methodist tradition, where he was immersed in the traditional teachings of Christianity and the value of spiritual community. A self-proclaimed generalist, Rev. Dee’s spiritual journey has been one of thoughtful discovery and mindful integration.
Rev. Dee agrees with the late Dr. Ernest Holmes when he explained that Science, in its quest to definitively link cause and effect, is the handmaid of Religion and Philosophy. And that all three fields of study must provide for practical application in the lives of human beings if they are to be worthy of our pursuit.
With a deep desire to grow spiritually and a chance encounter, while living in San Diego with one of those who “mysteriously” show up in our lives, Rev. Dee found a community of like-minded persons at the Pacific Church of Religious Science. Inspired by its minister, Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn, Rev. Dee entered into the Science of Mind studies. He later became a Licensed Practitioner under the tutelage of his mentor, the late Rev. Dr. Don Henderson.
Knowing the practical difference of spiritual truth personally, changed his life. A deep call from within and a passion for sharing the principles of Science of Mind with others, led Rev. Dee to pursue becoming a Science of Mind Minister. He describes the path as profound, ever-changing within and without, and filled with joy for which he is ever more grateful!
Rev. Dee is a graduate of the University of Arizona School of Architecture and the Holmes Institute of Consciousness Studies and a Licensed Minister of Centers for Spiritual Living, Golden, Colorado.
The dad of one son and two basset hounds, Rev. Dee, currently calls the west side of Cincinnati home.
“Each of Us are being God Itself being each of Us, consciously evolving in union and relationship with the I Am that I Am that It Is, and We Are.”
