Barbara Child retired from full-time Unitarian Universalist ministry in 2010; most of her parish ministry work was in interim ministry. She served the UUA on both the Commission on Social Witness and the Commission on Appraisal, both of which she chaired. Before attending Starr King School in 1993-96, she had led two other professional lives, first teaching English at Kent State University and then practicing poverty law and teaching and administering writing programs.  It was during her years in academia, before she became active as a UU, that she gradually began to receive her own education about gender and sexual orientation.
