First Parish in Cohasset welcomes our new Interim Minister – Rev. Dr. Anita Farber-Robertson
At 12:01 am (that’s right – midnight) on May 7th Ron Wallace made the call to Rev. Anita to offer her the position of Interim Minister here at First Parish beginning in August. For Ronnie McMorris, Brain Mozinski and Ron Wallace, this was the end of the rapid fire interim search process only 4 weeks long. During this time candidates were interviewed, references checked, decision criteria developed and the top candidate selected – Rev. Dr. Anita Farber-Robertson.
Rev. Anita is a UUA Accredited Interim Minister who is highly skilled with an energetic consulting style. She believes interim ministry presents a unique opportunity for the congregation to come together and identify the essence of the congregation’s spirit and its story. Rev. Anita has worked as the interim minister with a number of congregations in the Boston area, including Quincy, Cambridge, and Hopedale. She is well known in the Unitarian Universalist community having taught at the Andover Newton Theological School for 10 years and published a book called “Learn While Leading, Increasing Your Effectiveness in Ministry” which is widely used by seminaries here and abroad. Rev. Anita resides in Swampscott and has children and grandchildren in Massachusetts and California.
