Our Minister

In times like these in which our lives are lived, I wonder what could be more important than a vital spiritual community that is not fetter shackled manacled to unquestioned dogma from an ancient past, with its outworn worldview and consciousness — one that’s free to draw from ancient wisdom, even while it knows itself to be part of the further unfolding of the human spirit?
        Though I am here for only a year in an interim capacity, it’s unmistakable: a it’s a community joined by a covenant of care and love, and of commitment to the highest possibilities of this world of life, and every person whose lives it may touch. If you haven’t experienced this congregation, consider this a warm invitation to visit.
        It’s a transition time for Unity Church — when we ask, what’s next? We are writing the next chapters of this story that had its beginnings here in 1875. In recent years Unity Church has been blessed with wonderful ministerial leadership, and it’s grown, in depth, in reach, and in numbers. What future draws us forward? How can we get a better grasp of the vision that will inspire the next chapters? How must we plan, and structure our work, to do it? What will we dare and do?
        It’s a great privilege to share this year with the people of Unity Church!
