Rev. Alicia McNary Forsey

Rev. Forsey joined us in 2010 as our two-year interim minister. Her enthusiastic work with UUCE continues to uplift our efforts to grow our congregation and transform our space into a community-oriented center of liberal religious values and works.

Rev. Forsey came to Eugene from Berkeley, California where she was a visiting scholar to the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California, a parish minister, and co-teacher of Class 16 (a three-year certificate program) for the Humanist Institute.

You or someone in your immediate family has been rushed to a hospital,
