Intern Minister: Betsy Tabor
Betsy is in her first year of a two-year internship.  Betsy's first jobs combined her language skills, an MBA and her interest in other cultures. Into her mid-thirties, work took her from home in NYC toEurope,Asia andAustralia.  She met husband John on a ski trip, and they moved toPortsmouth to raise a family.  As the kids began to fledge, Betsy thirsted for a meaningful alternative to the corporate world. During a time of searching, she became a writer, studied homeopathy and attended spiritual retreats. A chance visit to the local Unitarian Universalist church turned her head. She loved the originality of UU worship and the invitation to embrace a life of spirit. This year, Betsy enters her fourth year of commuting to Andover Newton.
