When I tell people I’m minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane, they often ask, “Where’s that?” I usually respond, “At the corner of Government Way and Fort George Wright.” Wrong answer!
Because in the Unitarian Universalist tradition a minister isn’t just the pastor of those who attend church on Sundays, but is a pastor to the entire community in which she or he lives. And, this pastoral mindset is part of our oldest tradition; that our church and its ministry belong to the entire community.
