Sayo has a Masters in International Relations from the London School of Economics, where she now lives and works for an international development organization. She lives with her husband and their son in Cambridge.
Francis is now retired from professional life but worked by my side for many years as the Director of Religious Education for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick, MD. She is a interior designer doing commissioned work. She has a BA from Indiana University and has done graduate work in Early Childhood Education at Bank Street College in New York.
We enjoy traveling, hiking, listening to live jazz, and building communities of love. We are blessed with a large family which keeps us on the move. Our life is rich and we are completely dedicated to serving the cause of liberal religion.
