“The Church: To Be and To Do”

Rev. Tyler Coles

“In the wake of such great change internally and externally, we must ask ourselves, ‘What is the Church to be and do in this time?’ Come, let us gather in community as we reflect on this question, speak honestly of our journey, and faithfully imagine a future to come.”

This pre-recorded sermon is by Byron “Tyler” Coles. The Rev. Tyler Coles (they/he) is native of Roanoke, VA, and the only child of Monica and Terry. Inspired by the good news of Unitarian Universalism, Tyler believes the best of our collective ministry strives towards conjuring “the Beloved Kin-dom on earth as it is in heaven.” They engage this mandate through the work of multi-religious organizing, supporting young adults, and movement chaplaincy.

Tyler has served the greater faith as the Young Adult Community Leader of SPARK, Intern Minister of Mount Vernon Unitarian Church, and respectively as a steering committee member of Diverse & Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries (DRUUMM) and the Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism’s (BLUU) Steering Committee for youth ministry.
