Leadership
Rev. Dr. Rainbow Johnson
Rev. Dr. Rainbow Johnson was living in a cave on Kauai in the 1960's when she got a "message" while meditating. It said, "Religious Science." She's not kidding! She never heard of anything like that, so she wrote to her mother in L.A. and asked her to look up Religious Science in the phone book. They had phone bools way back then It turns out that L.A. was the headquarters of the United Church of Religious Science! She wrote to them and the rest is history.
Rev. Rainbow has a BA from UCLA, an MA from Cal State, became a Minister from the Holmes Institute in 1986, received an Honorary Doctorate degree from Inner Circle University in 2001, and the Meritorious Minister of the Year Award from the United Church of Religious Science in 2005.
