Curatorial CommentaryAt the time of this oral history in Fall 2021, Rev. Eller-Isaacs and his wife, Rev. Janne Eller-Isaacs, had very recently retired as co-ministers of the Unity Church Unitarian in St. Paul, Minnesota, where they had served together since Fall 2000. During the COVID-19 pandemic between March 2020 and August 2021, Revs. Eller-Isaacs and other ministers at Unity Church recorded more than 250 virtual "Minister's Messages" for the church's YouTube channel. All of these recordings may be viewed here: Minister's Messages - YouTube. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
