Have you ever noticed someone crying in church? Have you been that person? Rev. Amanda Poppei explores what it means to be a place where we can bring our fullest, truest selves – including the messy parts – and why this just might be the most important way that church transforms the world.

Rev. Amanda began as Senior Minister at UUCA in August 2020. She studied Religious Studies as an undergraduate at Yale University and received her Master’s of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary. Currently, Rev. Amanda is the Co-Chair of the Ministerial Fellowship Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Association. When she is not doing that, she can be found reading (favorite genre: Jane Austen but make it queer), embroidering, and hanging out with family, including two amazing kids.
