Adventures of a Hindu Unitarian Universalist

Today’s Topic

As one of our movement’s few Hindu-identified Unitarian Universalist clergy, Rev. Manish brings a unique and fresh take on our faith, the impact it can have, and our struggles. Join us on this special Sunday as Rev. Manish shares his journey in our movement with us, inviting us to reflect on, together, the very best of what Unitarian Universalism is and can continue to be.

Rev. Manish Mishra-Marzetti serves as Senior Minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor, MI. He is a co-editor of “Conversations with the Sacred: A Collection of Prayers” (2020) and the 2018-2019 UUA common read, “Justice on Earth: People of Faith Working at the Intersections of Race, Class, and the Environment.” He has served extensively in Unitarian Universalist leadership, including as a member of the UUSC Board of Trustees; the UUA Board of Trustees; President of DRUUMM (our UU people of color organization, Diverse and Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries); Commissioner on the UUA Commission on Appraisal; Secretary of the Board of Starr King School for the Ministry; and, as an author and advocate of the 2007 General Assembly resolution confronting gender identity-related discrimination. He brings to the ministry his multicultural experience serving as a U.S. diplomat during the Clinton administration. Manish loves desert hiking and his amazing kids and husband.

It is located 3 blocks west of the church, on Van Buren near Knapp St. Kingshead lot: On Sundays we can also use the gated parking lot on the corner of Van Buren and Knapp Streets. After you park, get a token from an usher in order to exit the lot. We also rely on street parking in our neighborhood. Here is a map with details.
