She has been a member of the Unitarians since she was 16, and led services for nearly ten years before entering training. As well as being a minister, she is a mother to three teenage children, enjoys singing, and aspires to be a vegetable grower!
Rev Anna is curently on Six months leave
Rev Alia will be standing In for her. Rev. Alia Shinbrough (they/them) is an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister, and a recent arrival to the Greater Manchester area. They hold a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School, and a Bachelor of Liberal Arts from Sarah Lawrence College.
Rev. Alia works to embody transformative ministry in a time of political and social crisis, and to empower others to build collective resilience and reverence for life from within the realities of living through this wounded world. Outside of ministering in a variety of sacred places and liminal spaces, Rev. Alia can often be found reading science fiction, making collage and other art, and spending time in the great outdoors.
