Guest Sermon: Listening With

Sunday, May 5, 2024 at 10:15am

Lindsay Donnelly-Bullington

Our faith calls us to listen with, not just to, the world around us. What gifts and lessons do our senses offer us in our quest to build and become Beloved Community?

Lindsay Donnelly-Bullington (she/her) is an itinerant preacher and an aspirant for Unitarian Universalist ministry. She is completing her MDiv at Boston University School of Theology and previously served with the Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth working with congregational involvement. She is looking forward to serving as Intern Minister with First Church in Boston this fall.
