Rev. Kim Harvie
to Speak at
Middlebury, UVM

 Gay people have not been especially
known for their faith in organized religions,
and with just cause, but when the minister
of a small town church is able to increase
the congregation in a predominantly gay
town from 35 toover400in aperiod of two
years. you know that thene’s something
special contained in the message being
delivered. Vemionters will have two
chances to hear that message on October 18
and 19 when Reverend Kim Harvie speaks,
first at Middlebury College and then at the
University of Vermont.

_ Harvie, who is a 1979 graduate of
M_1d_dlebury College, became full-time
minister of the Unitarian Universalist
Meeting House in Provincetown shortly
after graduating from Harvard Divinity
School. Though she is quite open and up
front about her own lesbianism, she sought
to unite her P-town following in ways that

transcend the distinctions often made be-
tween gay and straight worshippers. Harvie
describes her message as one of affirmation
and explains, “I tryhardto show my human-
ness to this very human congregation, and
my deepest hope is that people focus in and
tum love on themselves.”

The message Harvie brings with her to
Vermont is a timely one, coming as it does
just after National Coming Out Day. Her
strong sense of self (she was once quoted as
saying “if I were living with someone, I was
not about to change pronouns from the
pulpit”) and her focus on compassion come
together in her vision for an enlarged sense
of community, which to Harvie means “a
gathering of like-hearted people in the spirit
of love.”
