A Knock at Midnight

A Knock at Midnight

This Sunday we will reflect on the power of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words and how what he called us to do  is still left undone.

Dr. Nicole C. Kirk was raised a Unitarian Universalist in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She studied religion at  Westminster College in Missouri before embarking on a Master of Divinity at Vanderbilt.  Serving as a solo  minister for eight years in Ohio she began to incorporate academic work into her ministry at a higher level through the pursuit of a Doctor of Ministry degree.  But this degree only cultivated her intellectual curiosity and Nicole left her congregation to pursue a Ph.D. in American Religious History in 2006.  During her doctoral work, she continued connections with congregations through pulpit supply and serving as the Acting Assistant Minister at the largest church in New Jersey.  Nicole graduated with her Ph.D. in May 2012 and joined the faculty of Meadville Lombard Theological School in July as the Rev. Dr. Frank and Alice Schulman Chair of Unitarian Universalist History
