"A congregation cannot possibly know how to both prepare for the transition to a new minister and move forward at the same time. Maureen has not just filled the position of senior minister, she has actually provided leadership to move us forward. We all feel like she really cares about us though she is only with us for two years. We are better for having known her." ~ Sara Adams, Chair, Senior Minister Search Committee, River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation, Bethesda, MD





"Rev. Maureen is a charismatic and thoughtful preacher. She is compassionate, diplomatic, intuitive, thoughtful and intelligent. Her expertise in interim matters helped serve our church well in its transition following the departure of the previous senior minister who had served the congregation for 12 years. Her commitment to the congregation, its members and its children is wonderful." ~ Petrina Hollingsworth, Chair, Leadership & Nominations Committee, River Road UU Congregation, Bethesda, MD

"

During Rev. Killoran's two years with us, I won’t go so far as to say that all wounds were totally healed in our highly conflicted congregation, but most of the mentally wounded were brought to a place where they could come to services and committees and work in harmony with others. Many members saw the wisdom of forgiveness and concentrating on the spirit of the Fellowship that she preached constantly. She taught us to focus on our strengths and use them well and in a balanced fashion.  I would not hesitate an instant in highly recommending Rev. Killoran as interim minister to any congregation. ~ Pete Kersey, former administrator and current Board member, UU Fellowship of Vero Beach, FL.


"Rev. Killoran gave far more to our congregation than we had any reason to expect.  She  provided inspiring ministry with outstanding executive leadership under, at times, very trying circumstances." Bob Batt, Past President, Main Line Unitarian Church, Devon, PA.


"Maureen's years as a minister, her hard work and HR expertise have made a difference for our congregation.  Our new settled minister will be the beneficiary of her legacy."  Barbara Welsh, Chair, Personnel Committee, Main Line Unitarian Church, Devon, PA.

"Having worked with Rev. Killoran first as a Board member and then more closely as the Board Chair, I wholeheartedly endorse her as a highly competent Interim Minister. She is a seasoned professional with the skills, knowledge, experience and temperament necessary to help a congregation move into its next chapter. Rev. Killoran's advanced academic training, which includes congregational systems work, coupled with her varied practical experiences provided a strong platform for her counsel and guidance during the interim period.

"Her compelling preaching skills added to her ability to facilitate change and help our congregation become ready to accept a Settled Minister perhaps significantly different from our previous one."  ~ Jim Heaney,  Board Chair, River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation, Bethesda, MD
