CALL ME TEACHER

Eleanor A. Daniel is a retired professor and minister. She knew from the first grade that she wanted to be a teacher. During high school, she felt the Spirit directing that desire toward the teaching ministry of the church. She followed this leading that led in unexpected directions, even to the shadow of the Kremlin. She taught for two years in a church kindergarten and forty years in higher education. She has served as education minister, children’s pastor, youth minister, and minister of adult education in congregations in Illinois, Michigan, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Tennessee for twenty years. Her teaching career led her to ten foreign countries to teach. She has also served as a Dean and on accreditation teams for the Higher Learning Commission and the Association of Theological Schools.

She has degrees from Lincoln Christian University (B.A. and M.A.), the University of Illinois (M.Ed. and Ph.D.), with additional work at Central (OK) University and Christian Theological Seminary. 

She is retired and living in Urbana, Illinois. She can be contacted at eleanor71@ymail.com.
