Director of Religious Education: Jill HerbertsonQuite a few years ago at this church, DRE used to stand for "Director of Religious Education." At some point, I can't recall who decided, or when or why, the "E" began to stand for "Exploration". I didn't really pay much attention to the name change at first, and don't get me wrong, I also love education...but that word "Exploration" really sounds like an adventure! For the past 16 years, I have served as a Religious Exploration Committee Member and Sunday school teacher. All that wonderful time with our children has been spent: Exploring ethics and philosophy, Surveying world religions, Creating building blocks for a personal theology, and developing a Unitarian Universalist identity. It has been profoundly rewarding. The UU principle which "affirms and promotes a free and responsible search for truth and meaning," was the reason I joined this church. And I look forward to my new job as your Director of Religious Exploration. Together let's explore more of life's big questions! |

He has served the church in many capacities and most recently completed a 6 year term as Treasurer and member of the Board of Trustees.
