Welcome New Leadership!

"Purpose is the place where your deep gladness meets the world's needs."
~ Frederick Beuchner
We are delighted to announce that two beloveds have stepped forward to offer their services to the Tree of Life Interfaith Temple and Seminary.

Rev. Carol Lachance was our first Seminary Director after the founder, Rev. Dr. Stephanie Rutt passed the baton. It is her deep gladness to take a turn as a Seminary Guide beginning in June of this year. She has been an exceptional holder of our Seminary, its vision, its organization, and all the Guides and Seminarians.

A call was sent to all qualified Tree of Life ministers to step up to fill this position. One candidate responded. Luckily for us, it happened to be the ideal candidate, one who is a founding member of Tree of Life with experience as a minister, a mentor, a teacher, and a Seminary Guide.

​And the new Seminary Director will be... (Drum Roll)

Rev. Ahjan Grossman!
An invitation was sent to the community and repeated in the Weekly Update and Announcements over several weeks requesting that beloveds convey their interest in serving as an Associate Minister alongside Rev. Linda Goodman. One candidate responded with a beautiful essay expressing her call to this position. Luckily for us, the person who responded happened to be the ideal candidate for the position. She excels at ministry, teaching, spiritual direction, and has devoted all of her adult life to service to the Divine.



​And the new Associate Minister will be... (Drum Roll)

Rev. Deb-Ellen Brown!

We are extremely grateful that spirit has given us these two gifted beloveds in the perfect time for our need.
