Led by Rev. Maddie Sifantus
Have you ever gone on a pilgrimage? Rev. Maddie Sifantus considers the history and theologies of Universalism including a look at a Universalist pilgrimage that took place from the East Coast to California when the Universalist Conventions were held on the Pacific Coast in 1915. What sort of pilgrimage we might take with our faith today as we center love, leaning into our roots to find our wings?
Rev. Maddie Sifantus retired in July 2024 as full-time, ten year settled minister of the Universalist Unitarian Church of Santa Paula, California where she is now Minister Emerita. Before that she served two small formerly Universalist congregations in Massachusetts. She was originally ordained by the First Parish in Wayland in 2002 as a community minister. She served as First Parish’s Affiliate Community Minister until she moved to Santa Paula in 2015. She is the Founder and Director/Emerita of the senior citizen chorus she directed for 20 years, the Golden Tones. She enjoys supply preaching, leading Rites of Passages, spiritual companioning, her professional singing career and seeing her family who live in Pasadena.
