Rev. Wendy comes to us as a fifth-generation Unitarian (and then Unitarian Universalist) from New England. She has a lengthy history in our movement spanning over two decades as a religious leader. You'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know her in more depth but some highlights of those years include 14 years of parish ministry in Marblehead, MA, Board Chair of Ferry Beach Park Association (a UU retreat center in Maine), founding member and president of UU Allies for Racial Equity, member of the UUA Accessibility Committee, co-chair of the UUA Journey Towards Justice Transformation Committee, member of the UU Council on Cross Cultural Engagement, and founding member of the General Assembly Right Relationship Team model. Beyond UUism, Rev. Wendy has been an active interfaith leader in immigrant justice and community organizing. She received her Masters of Divinity at Boston University as well as her Doctor of Ministry. Her dissertation was on Successful Long-Term Ministries in UUism. Rev. Wendy now resides in Buckley, MI with her wife, Gini (former UUA Moderator), three von Kittens, and 21 von Chickens! She remains tied to Boston University School of Theology as the Mentor to the UU Community of Learning and teaches UU Polity, Interfaith Leadership, and Ministry and Leadership in Interfaith Settings. Here in GTC, Rev. Wendy was active with the GT Action Council (GTAC) organized around the 2020 election, worked with the Election Defenders here and in Georgia, and is a member of the Northern MI E3 Council (UpNorth Anti-racism Taskforce). |
