I'm one of your new interns! My name is Epiphany Paris, though everybody calls me Pip! I am gender nonbinary use they/them pronouns. I am studying to be a Unitarian Universalist minister, and am here because of my interest in interfaith alliances, particularly in working towards social justice.
I very much would like to meet as many of you as possible! Starting now, I am initiating "Brunch with the Intern." This is an opportunity to take me out (or invite me into your home) for breakfast, lunch or coffee. We can chat together, and I can learn more about you, your family, and if you are interested in discussing it, your faith. Here is a link where you can schedule time next week with me.
Note: this link is just for next week. I’ll re-post in following weeks. Also, if you have a time that doesn’t fit into this schedule, let me know and I’ll accommodate. You can contact me at pipaylaparis@gmail.com.
