One of the great stories of history is the presidency of Abraham Lincoln who gathered A Team of Rivals as chronicled in the book by the same name by Doris Kearns Goodwin to be his advisors.
Wow Keith!! UU Marblehead was blessed with a great committee and a wide range of folks. You were a wonderful leader in our WC program. I always say, “as a lesbian I felt welcomed & “at home” from my first service.” Then I asked the late Rev. Mary Harrington “What’s a Welcoming Congregation and what do they do?” Her reply “Ask Bill Smalley to be your co-chair and find out”! Bill & I are still co-chairs of the WC since 1998! He’s our Board President again too!! Some of the people in that group became my best friends in the congregation!💕🙏🏻🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
