New Minister for August 2021. Rev. Cynthia to Retire July 2021
Come August 2021, Greater Nashville will most likely be welcoming a new minister to our pulpit. Rev. Cynthia met with the Board and let us know that she'd like to retire in July of this year to make way for a new cycle of ministry. A post-pandemic cycle of ministry.
We have excellent partners at the Transitions Office at the UUA. They are the team that facilitates the matching of UU congregations and UU ministers. They know who all the UU ministers are, where they are, and who's looking for work. They know who all the congregations are, what their ministerial history is, and the hard work of maturation they have done.
