Letter To The Editor

Unintended Racism

‘I am writing in response to the article “Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis uses Zoom to pick first female ‘settled’ minister,” (The Capital, May 10). As a member of the Unitarian Church of Annapolis, I could not be more thrilled to welcome Rev. Anastassia Zinke to our community. I would be remiss as a member of this organization and this faith if I did not use my voice to share that I believe The Capital missed the mark on sharing the details of this story.’

Support Fairhaven School’s Tuition Fund

Dear Friend of Fairhaven School, I would like to begin this letter with warm greetings and well wishes. I hope that you and your family are healthy and managing through the COVID-19 pandemic. In late spring of 2020, our Assembly voted to offer ten times the normal tuition assistance for its community. Our top priority was keeping the families who wanted to stay, no matter their financial circumstances in this uncertain economy. We are invested in seeing Fairhaven provide this unique and amazing education to anyone who wishes to attend.’

Congregational Charge

Congregational Charge

‘'Rev. Fred gave the charge to the congregation upon the installation of Rev. Anastassia and the blossoming of co-ministers of equal standing with Rev. John. Filling Fred-sized shoes is a big responsibility, so rather than charging us with something new, I chose to lean into what he asked of us through my own lens as a UUCA congregant. Rev. Fred called on us to create a “fear-free zone by means of a fierce, revolutionary love… shaped by the joy of resistance.” You know, just an average request for average people, right?’
