A heart-centered minister and teacher, Brigid leads from relationships and embraces experiential interactions.

Rev. Roger Mock, Assistant Minister and Music Director
Roger has a lifetime of experience in church music ministry, starting back in high school days where he helped to form a contemporary ‘folk’ choir in his local Catholic parish in Little Falls, NY. Following studies at the College of St. Rose, he continued to serve as a music minister in the Roman Catholic church in Albany, NY for many years. Roger’s own spirituality has long been rooted in a wider understanding and experience of the Divine and the Unity movement has been a natural fit for him. Since about 2004, Roger has been serving as a minister of music here at Unity of Albany. He brings with him significant skills as a song leader, worship leader and instrumentalist (guitar, hammered dulcimer, mandolin).
In June, 2015, Roger completed a year of studies at All Faiths Seminary in New York City and was ordained as an interfaith minister.
