ministry. Since her graduation from Harvard Divinity School in 1995,
Rev. Gail has served UU congregations in Weymouth, Swampscott,

quarter of a century of ministry!

Nathaniel works as a physical therapist’s assistant in Santa Fe and is
rehabbing a Jeep truck in his spare time. Gail and Nat are the proud
parents of young adult twins, Isaac and Zoe. In a ministerial capacity,

Leadership Alliance of Santa Fe where she helps organize interfaith

meditates (almost) daily. She is always on the lookout for flickers of
holiness and beauty. She identifies as a Spiritual Humanist.
