If you were able to attend the worship meeting last Sunday and stayed for the vote afterwards, you know that UUCLV has a new minister! The Reverend Gordon Clay Bailey will be joining the congregation in September 2020! We are all very excited and look forward to the new road we will travel upon together moving forward!
Growing up in NYC, the Reverend Gordon Clay Bailey spent his early adult life searching for a job where he could make the most difference: a home for abused boys, Catholic Charities, Job Corps, the New York City Public School System, and ultimately,ministry. His call to ministry in his thirties led him to serve in the Unitarian Universalist denomination due to its rich tradition in social justice and its non-dogmatic approach to worship.
Rev. Bailey is a Board-Certified Clinical Chaplain and Pastoral Counselor with a dual BA in Anthropology and Sociology and a Master of Divinity, with a focus in Urban Ministry.
Rev. Bailey is married to Lisa Stiffler Bailey and between them they have four children (Jennifer, Devin, Ethan, and Darien) and one granddaughter (Kai).
