It has been my deep joy and privilege to prepare for the role of a lifetime- that of a Unitarian Universalist minister. After several years of study and service, I will be ordained on June 10th, 2018 at the 4th Universalist Society in New York. Your support will allow me to fund the reception, photography, printing and other costs associated with this milestone celebration, which is open to the public. I am so excited to share this event with you!
So many people have shaped this journey- dedicated members of congregations, mentors, teachers, ministers and religious educators, and countless friends from all areas of my life. If you know me from the various ministries I have served- in Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut- if you have been touched or inspired by me, if you have worked alongside me, I thank you for your support of this special day in my vocational life.

Arguably the most important ceremony in the early career of a minister is their ordination. An ordination is a crossroads event- it transmits the current of the liberal religious faith from the past to the present, and confers a blessing on their ministry. As such, it reminds us of who we are and what called to be. To reach this milestone, every minister must undergo three years of graduate-level study as well as internships, assessments, and training. Thus, the financial burdens of ministry are significant. Offsetting the cost of ordination claims Unitarian Universalism because it is a matter of economic justice that those who have heard the call be relieved of as much of the financial burden as possible, particularly in the earliest stages of their ministry
