Let Your Light Shine: Christians are the Light of the World

Reverend Eleanor D. Miller is a Traveling Elder with Full Connection status in the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. She currently serves as pastor of one of the churches in the Seventh Episcopal District, Carolina Region. Her Presiding Prelate is Bishop Thomas L. Hoyt Jr. and her presiding Elder is Dr. James E. Russell Jr. Aside from her pastoral duties, Reverend Miller is active in the Tryon Community where she resides. She is a member of the Tryon Eastside Citizen Advisory Committee, board member of the Roseland Community Center in Tryon, Director of the RISE (Roseland Institute for Summer Enrichment Program) member of the Warren J. Carson Scholarship committee, and also a board member of Polk Vocational Services. Her love for the Word of God has allowed her to speak on numerous occasions at different churches in both North and South Carolina. She knows that her preaching ability is a gift from God, and therefore she allows God to use her in the way that He sees fi t. Reverend Miller’s first book ＂Covered By The Leaves＂ published in 2007 was an emptying out of the pain and hurt that she suffered as a result of discrimination on the job. She says that she had to write about that dark time in her life so that she can now write about her times of light.
