Reverend
Amy Williams
Clark
My purpose in life is to bring
more hope, more love & more justice
to the world.
a little about me
My journey has taken me many places, often far from home. I grew up outside of Chicago where I went on to earn a Bachelors in Business from Northern Illinois University.
Later, I earned a Master of Divinity from St. Paul School of Theology in Kansas City, Missouri That led to many years of ministry in churches around Missouri as a United Methodist pastor.
I eventually trained as a chaplain and worked in rehabilitation, pediatric, and hospice settings.
In 2005, I became UU as I found joy and meaning in Unitarian Universalism.
To deepen my Call, I completed a social justice internship at First Unitarian
Church of Baltimore in 2014.
My ordination followed in May 2015 and I served as the
minister at Cedarhurst Unitarian Universalists in Finksburg, Maryland from since 2015 to 2024.
I enjoy knitting, reading, gardening, and watching sci-fi with my spouse, Daniel Clark.
Dan has recently finished his PhD in educational psychology.

Ministry Highlights
Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is sacred companionship, mapping your spiritual landscape and listening for the Spirit’s quiet movements. It seeks healing in the places we inhabit, comfort in the sacred ground within us, and readiness to walk into the world, bearing the light and grace of the journey.
​
Social Justice
The world needs more justice! Each person has inherent worth that I strive to uphold by restorative justice and actively fighting oppression.
​
Spiritual Care
The world needs more love. I give love when I give my time, my hand, and my ear to those that are suffering. We all are suffering in some way, yet we all have access to immense, expansive Love-- what I call God.
​
Congregational Life
The world needs more hope! Being in community is just one of the ways that I bring light into the lives of the weary and inspiration to the seekers.
