Jordinn Nelson Long
Full name: Rev. Jordinn Nelson Long
Rev. Jordinn is the Lead Minister of the UU Society of Fairhaven, MA. A native of Cheyenne, Wyoming, she is a graduate of Meadville Lombard Theological School.
Before beginning seminary, Jordinn served two public school districts and two private schools as a teacher, and has taught kindergartners, infants and toddlers (and their parents) as a parent educator, and third and fourth grade special education.
Jordinn also holds a J.D. from the University of Utah’s SJ Quinney College of Law. While she knew early in law school that lawyering was not her particular calling, she finds the training in mediation, contract law, and civil rights to have been invaluable preparation for the Unitarian Universalist Ministry.
Jordinn has served as a Ministry Fellow for the Church of the Larger Fellowship (our largest congregation; an international church without walls), and completed her formational training in Kansas City, Missouri, at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church.
