Lizann Bassham

Lizann Bassham was a minister in the United Church of Christ and a witch in The Reclaiming Tradition. She was a columnist for SageWoman magazine, and a novelist whose work includes One of Another (2008), about a group of folk in the Castro district of San Francisco dealing with the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. As a playwright she explored issues of sexuality, spirituality, social justice, and social location. She crafted her music, novels, plays, and columns as a means to explore community and connection. She was also one of the campus pastors at Pacific School of Religion. Lizann died on May 27, 2018. TIO is grateful for what she contributed to our journal and to the interfaith movement more broadly.
