"Another Possibility, Waiting" by Rev. Barnaby Feder

We tend to agree readily with Rev. Rebecca Parker's well-known advice to "Choose to Bless the World," but should we be focusing on doing more of it collectively as visible communities of UU's? Rev. Barnaby Feder, a lifelong UU now in his 11th year leading the Middlebury congregation, reflects on his experiences with the challenges, pitfalls, and most promising ways toward making Love effective together.

Rev. Barnaby Feder has been the Champlain Valley UU Society's Lead Minister since Aug. 2012, and will be retiring on June 30. Rev. Feder is a San Francisco Bay Area native. He was raised in a UU congregation in San Mateo, Calif., that his late mother helped organize. After graduating from Williams College, he became a reporter. After a break from 1974-77 to obtain a J.D. Degree at the University of California at Berkeley School of Law, he resumed work as a journalist. He spent 27 years with The New York Times and was one of the writers on the award-winning Portraits of Grief project memorializing the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Barnaby entered seminary at Drew Theological School in 2008. Prior to being called to Middlebury, he served as a ministerial intern in Morristown, NJ., and half-time interim minister in Stroudsburg, Pa.
