About me
Ian Wrisley is the pastor of the Gunnison Congregational Church. His family has lived in the Valley for nearly a decade. He has been involved in various ministries, local organizations, the Crested Butte Mountain Theatre, and he has worked as a carpenter, as well.
Ian tends toward caution when talking about God — everyone means something a little different. Recently, this word, “numinous,” has started showing up in his thinking, his conversation. It means hinting at divinity, and he thinks that’s a good way to think about all of life. It’s not certain; it’s not obvious; it’s a revelation that suggests. It’s a hint, a shadow, a whiff of possibility that leads to the next glimmer, and the next. There’s an emptiness, a presence, a loss and a fullness we all experience, a numinous hint, prompting kindness and generosity.
