The Rev. Dr. Susan Ritchie has served as the minister of the North Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Lewis Center, Ohio since September of 1996. During that time, the congregation has more than doubled in size, purchased not only its first building but a religious education center, and added three professional staff positions.
Ritchie is published widely on the topic of Unitarian Universalist history and identity, and also religious cultural studies. Her research demonstrating religious toleration to be an outgrowth of Islamic-Unitarian cultural exchange has been published in the Journal of Unitarian Universalist History, The Journal of the Zaytuna Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies, and has been republished in Turkish. Ritchie's work on “The Promise of Postmodernism for Unitarian Universalist Theology” was published by the Journal of Liberal Religion, and was also translated into Hungarian.
She has been selected to deliver the Minns Lectures in Spring 2009 on the topic of Unitarian Universalist Identity. Ritchie is proud to have grown up as a third generation Unitarian. When not in residence in Berkeley, she lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her partner Donna and English Springer Valentino, where she enjoys madly competitive amateur tennis and foolishly ambitious cooking.
Dr. Ritchie teaches courses entitled: “Unitarian Universalist Identities” and “European Unitarian/Universalist History.”
