The Rev. Dr. Tony Johnson - Interim Minister
The Unitarian Universalist Church in Meriden is a community in transition. Under the leadership of our previous settled minister, the Rev. Lucy Ijams, the congregation redefined itself, moving from the historic building it had occupied for over 100 years into our new space on Paddock Avenue.
In 2010 the congregation began the process of moving into the next phase of its history. With the assistance of the Unitarian Universalist Association's Transitions Office, we secured the services of the Rev. Dr. Tony Johnson, an experienced accredited Interim Minister, to lead us as we chart our way into the future.
As an interim minister, Rev. Johnson will serve with us for two years while we prepare for and search for our next settled minister. His time with us will end in June of this year.
The Rev. Dr. Tony Johnson received his Master of Divinity degree from Harvard University in 1977 and was ordained as a Unitarian Universalist Minister by the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Burbank, CA that year. He has served Unitarian Universalist congregations in California, New Jersey, and New York in settled, consulting, interim, and community minister positions. During his career he has also served in executive positions with a number of non-profit community service organizations. He serves as the part-time consulting minister for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Palisades in Englewood NJ, and as an affiliated Community Minister for the Community Church of New York in Manhattan. Tony received his Dr. of Ministry degree in Ministry in Multifatih Settings from the NY Theological Seminary in May 2010.
