We are pleased that the Rev. Dr. Randolph Becker – friend and colleague of Leia and Linda – will be preaching, considering that “as much as our present situation feels unique to us – full of political, physical, and spiritual peril – we gain perspective, maybe understanding, perhaps even meaning by remembering other times such as this. To live historically informed is to both reclaim hopes and construct our own dreams.”
Rev. Becker, raised in the Universalist Unitarian congregation in Utica, NY, has served Unitarian Universalist congregations for over 50 years in both Parish and Religious Education ministries. He has also served on and chaired the Religious Education Credentialing Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations. Now, in semi-retirement in Key West, Florida, Randy preaches virtually to a variety of congregations and is a published author of mystery novels and travel books
