autobiography
Mark Morrison Reed's
bibliography
Morrison-Reed, a graduate of Meadville
Lombard Theological School, has been active in the Unitarian Universalist
Association, as well as in the Canadian Unitarian Association, which he
guided to independence from the UUA. Mark has worked tirelessly
to raise awareness of the situation of people of color in UUism, including
guiding discussions about achieving a multi-cultural, less oppressive UUism.
Mark also advocates for gay, lesbian and transgender rights and same-sex
marriage.
Mark has been a UU minister in Rochester, NY
and, with his wife, Donna, co-minister in Toronto, Canada. He has served on
the UUA Committee on Urban Concerns and Ministry, Commission on Appraisal,
and Ministerial Fellowship Committee, as co-convener of African American UU
Ministries and as president of the CUC.
Mark is perhaps best known for his publication,
Black
Pioneers in a White Denomination. At the conference he will talk with us
about his upcoming book, Black
Hippie: The Crucifix and Redemption of an Oreo and give two presentations:
“In Between: The Memoirs
of a UU Integration Baby” and “A Saunter Through the Sankofa
Archives.”
