Effie McAvoy
"I don’t know how you can’t practice who you are. I don’t practice my life I live my life." - Effie McAvoy
This episode of Queer Spirit explored the life and ministry of Rev. Effie McAvoy. The conversation included how anger can be a virtue, the nature of a just society, and the leader's responsibility to make sure that no person, no child will ever leave church feeling unloved by God.
About
Effie McAvoy’s Twitter handle is “The Reverend with Rage: ‘Proud and Out’ Jesus Follower, Wife, Mother, Pastor, Police Chaplain – working for the transformation of the world, one soul at a time.” A California native, Effie moved to North Carolina in the mid-80s. After completing her academic studies in North Carolina and then later in Boston, she was ordained as a United Methodist minister in 1999. For more than 20 years, she’s served churches in North Carolina and more recently in Oakland and York, Maine, before her bishop moved her this summer to serve a church in Hope, Rhode Island. That’s so Rhode Island’s gain and Maine’s loss!
