Ministry is the work that has called me out of basic survival into rich engagement with the world and with my work. I believe that Unitarian Universalism has a vital message of community, inclusion, pervasive sanctity, and the enduring power of love–and it’s up to us to live our faith in the world and let people know that we are here. If you want an inclusive, justice-oriented, thoughtful, and intuitive religious tradition with long roots and tremendous possibility; if you want a congregation that encourages you to seek your truth in the company of others; if you want to strive for a deeper, more engaged spiritual experience within the context of a profoundly personal theology that grows and changes with you, please visit us. My work in the parish involves counseling, administration, writing, speaking…but mostly it involves accompanying people in their religious and life journeys. It keeps me busy, it uses my talents, and it challenges me to keep growing, keep learning, keep living with integrity, keep being.

– a unique ministry; kind of an online confessional. One of the ongoing conversations among seminarians and ministers is the question of what those of us in traditions without confession do for forgiveness and absolution. This site points to a crying need.
