Sherman and Sobeyia have been volunteering for several months with our Food Justice Ministry. In addition, they were the main power behind the transformation of our parish hall into a room that could host the vaccination clinic this past month!

They are Episcopalians and had been going to another church, when they discovered Church of the Mediator, which is much closer to their home. We are so glad to have them!

Aaron Miner is a recent graduate of Union Theological Seminary, and a candidate for ordination in the ELCA. Growing up in a conservative church, he struggled to reconcile his Christian identity with his identity as a queer transgender person. As an adult, he found spiritual community in a storefront Lutheran church in the Bronx, where he helped build a radically inclusive drop-in ministry. He works as a database developer. He enjoys spending time with his two teenage kids, going on long urban hikes, and cooking with friends and family. He sees church as a place for healing, community building, imagining a different world, and beginning to see ourselves and each other with God’s delight.
