Glenn E. King Support Minister

I was born and raised in Corning, New York.  As a conscientious objector, I volunteered to work in a school for the developmentally disabled in Wassaic, New York where I met my wife Phyllis who was a speech therapist there.  She was raised in an orthodox Jewish household and I in an Episcopal one.  Needing a common religious home where we could raise our daughter, we found a Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Pughkeepsie.  It fit our needs quite well, but was thirty miles away from our home. 

In the mean time, I had studied data processing and taken a job with a company that subsequently moved to Massachusetts.  There we found ourselves much closer to a UU Church in Chelmsford.  At Chelmsford I sang in the choir, served as collector, taught religious education, served as a mentor for a youth, served on the governing board, chaired the Committee on Ministry and initiated a "Green Ministry" program.

I am a sometime sailor and gladly accept invitations to crew.  We at one time had a fine 26 foot McGregor, but are now reduced to a 1959 Grumman sail canoe that begs to be used more.

Currently I am pursuing a career in ministry, studying at Andover Newton Theological School.  As part of that process, I have served as a chaplain intern at St. Elizabeth's hospital in Brighton and a student minister in Mendon/Uxbridge.  This year I am delighted to be doing Field Education in Orange.
