Meeting again for the first time.

I’m Rev. Matthew,  Unitarian Universalist Minster serving in Southern Arizona.

I'm the sum of the pastor, preacher, prophet, priest, and parson you've come to know over the last eight, but I'm saying "Howdy!" again as if for the first time. 

There are many examples of my ministry accessible online (CLICK HERE for a page of links). If a curriculum vitae is helpful to reintroduce me, CLICK HERE to read mine.

Below, I share the wholeness of my ministry through a photo essay. ​

Ministry is weaving...

... five threads of dynamic love...

Pastor + loving together
Preacher + speaking the truth
Prophet + rediscovering justice
Priest + opening to the sacred
Parson + soul living

Below is a collage of images weaving these five threads into a portrait of my ministry.

... into a wholeness
​more than the sum
