Cheryl Anderson is the minister at the Congregational Church in Washington, Connecticut. I met her because our drum group plays in her church, and she helped start the group. She played with us for about 6 months, then dropped out as her ministerial duties didn’t allow her the time.

However, because our drum group performs during some of her services, I’ve heard her speak numerous times. We also go to her church’s Christmas eve service. My wife likes to song carols.

Her services are quite amazing. I’m partial to them because she and I are on the same end of the political spectrum and because she’s a thinking person; she works hard to clarify complex issues and make them real.
