How Is Ori Todd Embracing Possibility?

After years of contemplation, consideration, and exploration, I applied to seminary at Meadville Lombard last fall. I was beyond excited and so grateful to be accepted into their program and began my studies this spring. I am most interested in teaching religion at Kirkwood or other community colleges, but I am also pursuing my potential to enter into chaplaincy, particularly hospice work.

Becoming a UU chaplain requires fellowship with the Unitarian Universalist Association and the first step is to achieve aspirant status. As part of that process, I am seeking congregational sponsorship from my home church, you! Congregational sponsorship simply means that the congregation has confidence in my potential for UU ministry, in this case as a hospice chaplain.

I can’t wait to further explore this path as I continue to learn and grow. I am already learning so much as I enter into this new time in my life. I can whole-heartedly say that I am “embracing possibility” as I begin my seminary training.

Thank you,

Ori Todd
