Being an active and engaged member of a community, whether as clergy or laity, has been a big part of my life. From well before I entered ministry, community service  and volunteerism in general were social contributions I saw as essential. Whether marching on Washington ( which I have done a number of times) or serving children, working with incarcerated children and adults, working with rape survivors, in UU RE settings, in community justice programs – I consider service to the community “the rent I pay for my room here on Earth.”

Here’s a timeline including some of my community involvements:
