Guest minister Rev. Barnaby Feder reflects on the love gospel embodied in the remains of a once vibrant baby quilt.

A lifelong UU from San Mateo, California, Rev. Barnaby entered seminary in 2008 after a long career in journalism. He is about to start his eighth year as the minister serving the Champlain Valley UU Society in Middlebury. He and his wife, Michele Lowy, have three grown children, all living at the moment in Washington, DC, and a relentlessly affectionate cat with a black UU question mark on the white part of his hind left leg. They are between dogs, in case you know of a good candidate for adoption who would enjoy spending part of its life hanging out with Rev. Barnaby at the church office.
