First Unitarian calls its first woman Senior Minister
The First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn has called the Reverend Ana Levy-Lyons to be its first woman Senior Minister, effective Aug. 1. She will preach her first sermon this Sunday, Sept. 9, at the 11:00 a.m. service.
Other women have served First Unitarian Church as ordained ministers, including, recently, the Rev. Orlanda Brugnola, who is now minister emeritus. However, until now, only men had been called as Senior Minister.
This historic church, founded in 1833 as a center of liberal religion, will mark its 180th year in 2013. The sanctuary, designed by noted 19th century Minard Lafever, was dedicated in 1844.
