February 26 “What Makes Us Different from Apes?” - Guest Minister Anastassia Zinke
Anastassia Zinke is currently serving as the intern minister at UUCA. A native of New York City, she took its multiculturalism to heart by becoming a world traveler - living in England and Japan and traveling to over 25 countries. She has served three previous congregations: First Parish in Concord (MA) and Community Unitarian Church of White Plains (NY) as a youth program director, and All Souls Church, Unitarian (D.C.) as a summer intern minister. In addition to building multicultural communities, she has a life-long passion for social justice and service. She founded a non-profit to raise awareness regarding the plight of refugees, interned for Senator Ted Kennedy, lobbied to protect Medicare and Medicaid, and did faith-based advocacy to urge passage of national health care reform and the protection of women's rights globally. To her, pursuing a career as a parish minister meant not leaving such work behind, but rather redirecting her efforts towards fostering locally-based justice-loving communities. She holds a Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary (NY). She is married to Kent Mitchell, who shares her love of travel and interest in fostering strong communities working for change.
