Darrell Goodwin, a United Church of Christ pastor, was elected as the first executive minister of the denomination’s new Southern New England Conference by an overwhelming margin on September 26.
Goodwin currently serves as associate conference minister for the Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota UCC conferences.
According to denominational reports, Goodwin, who is gay, hoped that by accepting this position, “other brown little boys and girls, and other people who are born into this world but do not feel part of what people consider to be the majority” would also feel inspired to follow God’s call for their lives.
