I am a theistic Unitarian Universalist; an accountable antiracist, feminist, queer ally; a liberal, suburban American minister practicing in New England’s old “congregational way;” a loving husband and father; and a spiritual leader dedicated to transformative preaching, teaching, healing and social justice ministries. Serving as the parish minister of UUS:E has blessed my life in many ways. Most importantly, UUS:E has allowed me—and continues to allow me—to be an authentic spiritual presence and to provide excellence in ministry. I am deeply thankful.

As a “recovering catholic”, I would join your church in a heart beat, should you be anywhere close to Three Rivers, MI. Alas, I will make due with our Presbyterian church which is very welcoming.
Nice to hear from you Dick. I know many great Presbyterian congregations and clergy in CT and MA! Though if you’re ever interested in checking out the Unitarian Universalist congregations in your area, I see one in Kalamazoo, one in Portage, and one in Elkhart.
Way to go, Josh. A very merry Christmas to you. Mike Nappe linked me to your latest blog and I’m very happy to know you do such wonderful work. Love to your family.
