“I believe humanity is interconnected. This means, I have a responsibility to the world to agitate for justice; I also have a responsibility not to lose my love for the human soul and human dignity in the midst of that work.”

“Because of my vocation as a theological educator and service as a lay leader, I believe that Unitarian Universalist theological education has a unique role to play.”
