Rev John McLean on "Expecting Your Good"

Rev. John M. McLean, accepted the invitation to be Director of the Center for Spiritual Living – Los Angeles in June 2010. He had previously served ministries in Nashville, Tennessee and Bellevue, Washington since his ordination in 2003. He began his spiritual journey with Dr. David Walker at this very center, then called Los Angeles Church of Religious Science. He was first licensed as a practitioner under Dr. Walker and also served on the Board of Trustees. His New Thought study expanded when he moved to New York City and experienced the late Eric Butterworth. He is deeply honored to be back at CSL-LA where he will continue his work as teacher and speaker, aiming to encourage all who are seeking a better experience of life through understanding and applying our wonderful Truth teaching. Rev. McLean has spent all of his prior work-life involved in the creative arts. Immediately after graduation from college, he was on staff at the National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, DC. After moving to Southern California, he worked in the television industry as a staff producer on a prime-time television series and later as a network, prime-time programming executive. Just prior to ministerial studies, he returned to the art-field, this time the local level, where he was involved in all areas of community outreach and programming for a large museum and performing arts center in rural Wisconsin. He earned a BA in Art History from George Washington University, Washington, DC and an MA in Creation Spirituality from Naropa University/University of Creation Spirituality, Oakland, California. He was ordained in June 2003 after completing the Ministerial Education Program at Unity School, Unity Village, Missouri and is also a Licensed Religious Science Minister.
