Rev. Dr. Madelyn E. Campbell

We aren't Unitarian Universalists in isolation. Ever since the Cambridge Platform of 1648, we've recognized the need to gather together in groups of congregations - to learn from each other, to help each other, to grow together.  Therefore, I think it's critical that we maintain our associational connections, in informal relationships, as well as at the cluster, regional, and UUA levels.  

 

Since 2019, I have been serving as a commissioner on the UUA Commission on Appraisal. In this capacity I was one of the co-authors of the Commission's most recent report, Unlocking the Power of Covenant, published in 2021.  

​

I believe it is important to support and nourish ministers in formation. I have had, and continue to have, many wonderful mentors along my journey. To that end, I have served as a mentor to seminarians through the Ministerial Formation Network, and I currently serve as mentor to ministers in preliminary fellowship, as well as one who is an Accredited Interim Minister in Training (AIMIT). I would welcome the opportunity to mentor a ministerial intern, as well. 

​

I served on the Board of Directors of the Joseph Priestley District until we dissolved in March of 2019 as the UUA moved toward a regional structure. I was honored to have been able to serve during this time.

​

I served a six-year term on the board of the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship.  The UUCF has been serving the liberal Christian community for about 70 years.  

​

Clergy also need to be in community with one another.  I'm a Past President of both the President the Priestley-Kingsbury chapter of the UU Ministers Association, and also tthe Military Chaplains chapter. I am also a member of the Transitional Ministers chapter and the New York Metro Area chapter.
