Allie Perry, ‘80 M.Div.

Since YDS graduation, Perry has come full circle, now living behind YDS with her husband, Charlie Pillsbury, and for the past year teaching two courses at YDS as an adjunct: Family Therapy and Nonviolence. After nine years in the parish ministry, she earned a D.Min. at Andover Newton and now teaches there as an adjunct. She also does pastoral counseling at a center in Milford, CT. She is worship coordinator for Shalom UCC, the congregation that grew out of the University's decision last year to cut its UCC ties. Her passion continues to be peace and justice work, hence her teaching of the nonviolence course and her volunteer work with Reclaiming the Prophetic Voice, a statewide interfaith organization.
