The Board of Trustees has unanimously voted to contract the Reverend Lucy Ijams (ponounced "eye-ums") as the consulting minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Utica. On Thursday, Rev. Ijams signed a one year agreement to serve as consulting minister beginning August 1, 2010. This contract can be extended by mutual agreement.
Lucy has been minister at the UU church in Meriden, CT for 13 years and brings a broad range of talents and interests to our community. She bases her theology in a panantheism and believes strongly in the importance of social justice. Lucy is seeking an opportunity to grow with the congregation and help facilitate the spiritual and institutional health of the religious community.
