Rev. Molly has announced that UU minister and cultural geographer Jordinn Nelson Long will be visiting with us during the 2025-2026 church year to support her research on thriving progressive faith communities.

Jordinn will be with us for most of September and from January to mid-March. She will be embedding herself in the congregation, meeting many of you, and learning what we’re up to. She will also lead us through some reflection about our community connections and the impact of our work.

Rev. Molly has known Jordinn for many years, and she is one of Rev. Molly’s most enlivening thought partners.

As part of her planning, Jordinn is seeking a homestay for the time she is here. She has $500/month funding available from her university to rent a room in a congregant’s home. If you are interested in the possibility of hosting Jordinn, please email Rev. Molly.
