Rev. Daniel Lawlor has served as minister for UUCHV since 2022.  

As a half-time minister, Rev. Daniel is with us for two Sunday services per month.  He is also regularly on site or in the area for pastoral care, meetings, special events, and for weekly office hours on Wednesdays. 

​

Prior to serving at UUCHV, Rev. Daniel was the affiliated Community Minister with the First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn.  Rev. Daniel was ordained to the UU Ministry at First Church Boston, and is a graduate of Brown University, Harvard Graduate School of Education, and Boston University School of Theology, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude.  At BU, he was inspired by the ongoing legacy of Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman, a 20th Century Civil Rights leader and teacher who was committed to inter-faith, inter-racial work for justice and healing. 

​

In addition to the UU Congregation of the Hudson Valley, Rev. Daniel is the part-time Co-Director for the Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth, a public ministry to promote spiritual grounding, education and accountable actions with our Unitarian Universalist congregations to cultivate environmental justice.

Rev. Daniel and his wife Yumi live in Brooklyn.  Yumi is an NYU grad, an attorney at Etsy, and is committed to non-profits supportive of young women's empowerment. They are grateful to call New York their chosen home.
