The Rev. Dr. Christine M. Wetzel Memorial Scholarship
The Rev. Dr. Christine M. Wetzel Memorial Scholarship was created and funded by members and friends of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock, Long Island, NY, to enable a religious education professional from a Unitarian Universalist congregation to attend Faith Development Week on Star Island, NH. The Scholarship honors the memory of Rev. Dr. Wetzel, the congregation’s first Minister of Religious Education. Chris served the congregation from 1971 until her retirement in 1992. She died in 2019.
Chris was a regular and enthusiastic participant at the Star Island Religious Education Conference (now known as Faith Development Week). She encouraged religious education teachers and volunteers to attend, as a way to expand their own knowledge and horizons. This Scholarship is intended to extend her legacy.
