In Some Ways, Men Can Be Immortal – Memorializing the Unhoused in Montana
Every life is worthy to be remembered, even, and maybe especially, if it is a life lived at the margins
Rev. Courtney Arntzen
After 13 years of serving as a Montana pastor in rural and college communities, Courtney Arntzen became the Missoula Spiritual Caregivier. She ventured beyond the church walls called by the cries and circumstances of those who do not find refuge within a traditional faith community. These days she explores spiritual curiosities and sacred questions among people who are situationally marginalized or institutionally suspicious. She is a Cohort 5 Alumna of Start through the GLEAN network. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication from the University of Washington, a Master of Divinity from Regent College, British Columbia, a certificate in the Art of Spiritual Direction through San Francisco Theological Seminary, and a certificate in Spiritual Care and Trauma through the Shaw Institute of Chaplaincy.
