• Summa Cum Laude

• Dissertation: “A Unifying Myth and Corresponding Ritual for Unitarian Universalism: The UU Service of Meaning Through Remembrance”

MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES      

Unitarian Universalist Church of Brevard:  Ordination, March 31, 2007    

UU Church of Brevard Affiliate Minister: May 1, 2007 - present

As the affiliate minister at UUCB, I am responsible for Sunday morning ministerial programs on the second Sunday of each month. I coordinate with the membership committee to facilitate a Guest and New Member Ministry. I am available for visiting members in need and participating in community events as a representative of UUCB. In a community outreach capacity, I have delivered the invocation at a Brevard County Parks and Recreation Department ribbon-cutting ceremony, taught a class on Unitarian Universalism for the Shepherd's Center, and addressed the Brevard County School board on the subject of appropriate sex education for our public school children. In 2008, I organized a half-day seminar on the subject of Peacemaking and presented a section entitled Gender Roles in Peacemaking.      

UU Church of Brevard Ministerial Intern: 2006    

As the ministerial intern at UUCB, I lead the initiative to become a Welcoming Congregation providing a safe spiritual home for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered persons. At the end of this process we became a Welcoming Congregation with a unanimous congregational vote. I organized a full-day community seminar on the Separation of Church and State. During my internship, the membership at the church increased by over 25%.
