DUTY EIGHT: SERVES THE LARGER UU FAITH
In the Joseph Priestley District, I have led start-up workshops for new ministers, been a part of the “Big Tent Revival” at the Murray Grove Retreat Center, served for two years as President of the Chesapeake Chapter of the Unitarian Universalist Minister’s Association and am now a Good Officer for the Chapter. I am in my nineth year with the Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry of Maryland, presiding these last two years as co-chair.
I have also offered workshops at JPD Annual Meetings and the UUA General Assembly.
I've had the privilege to increase local visibility in Harford County through Invocations, Benedictions, Interfaith Prayers, a County-wide race and law enforcement forum group and Speeches. A listing of attendances is available upon request.
DUTY NINE: LEADS THE FAITH INTO THE FUTURE
I find working as a mentor for colleagues in ministry and as an intern supervisor both challenging and invigorating. The “leading” of our faith into the future is mutual, because the evolution of our faith is a communal endeavor.
I also enjoy interfaith projects, because the relevancy of Unitarian Universalism includes a facility to interact with other faith groups and to be in authentic conversation with differing beliefs. A unified vision of world community with peace and justice for all needs to include a wide spectrum of understanding in this enterprise we call human being.
In co-founding Maryland Faith For Equality, a state-wide interfaith coalition for marriage equality, with a Baptist colleague, I had the opportunity to learn new ways of expressing a core vision until we came together with a praise filled affirmation of justice. Unitarian Universalists need to be open to differing ways of speaking and seeing in order to find a liberating coalition that can eventually lead to world community..
This year, I was nominated as one of "the most beautiful people in Harford County", as a tribute to the work I have done in the County with various County leaders and communities. It was an honor to be recognized in this way and good visibility for the work we do as a faith.
