Marylin H.
President
Marylin takes her responsibilities as Board President to heart. “Doing what I can to make the world a better place includes doing what I can to bring the worldview of UUism to more people,” she says. Marylin’s spiritual journey started with Protestantism, “but I became disenchanted with that religion as a teenager,” she explains. “My husband was raised Unitarian Universalist [UU], so I checked out the local UU church when I hunted for a wedding venue. I joined UUCDC many years later to find a spiritual home in which to raise my children.” Marylin adds that her relationships at our church have become “an incredibly important part of my life. This is where I have grown into a better person. I feel valued here.”
John D.
Vice President
John gets some of his spiritual inspiration from his love of science fiction like Star Wars. “I see connections between the idea of ‘the Force’ and UU values such as the interconnected web of life.” As social justice coordinator on the Executive Team, he serves as liaison among the advocacy teams at UUCDC. “Growing up in the 1970s, I developed a strong sense of fairness due to my Catholic Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) classes.” As a Ph.D. from the University of Delaware and an adjunct instructor at three area universities, where he teaches history and the humanities, John developed a deep understanding of how inequality is embedded in social, legal, financial, and political institutions. “Participating in the Anti-Racism Coalition [ARC] and helping coordinate the church’s social justice groups allows me to do something more than just ‘being aware.’” He and his wife have one child in college and the other beginning high school. “During the pandemic, we adopted a cat, Emma,” he adds. Besides watching and reading science fiction and fantasy, John walks and takes photos of what he sees. “But I most enjoy reading history, science for non-scientists, other types of non-fiction, and graphic novels.”
