Called to Love, Justice, Vitality
Reverend Susan Frederick-Gray
(ONE SERVICE EACH SUNDAY, THROUGH JULY 31)
This is a defining moment. The challenges we face for humanity and the planet are great. Yet, this is also a moment of opportunity. How is our faith calling us to respond to this moment? What skills do we need to be prepared to respond to that call? How can we be a vital voice for love and justice for our time?
Susan Frederick-Gray is the Lead Minister of the UU Congregation of Phoenix. She is a life-long Unitarian Universalist who grew up at Eliot Chapel, outside of St. Louis, MO. She has provided leadership to congregations in all five regions of the UUA, including leading significant growth in the two congregations she served as settled minister.
