I recently had a conversation with Jo O’Sullivan, dedicated Unitarian, nationally-recognised family law solicitor, and an experienced worship leader and public speaker.
Jo has been a trustee of Brighton Unitarian Church and Treasurer of the Unitarian Women’s Group. Currently, she serves as a Trustee of Send A Child To Hucklow (SACH), Chair of The Inquirer Board, Council member of the LDPA and a Trustee of Essex Hall. In her own words “being a Unitarian is the most important part of my life”.
I have known Jo for many years now and she never ceases to inspire me. In this episode, she talks about her background, her work, and her hopes for the future for the UK Unitarian movement.
