"The Power of a Word” Rev. Tania Y. Márquez, UUA Congregational Life Staff for Pacific Western Region

In this recorded sermon, Rev. Tania Márquez of the UUA Congregational Life Staff, Pacific Western Region, explores the power of words to help bring the invisible to life. Tania highlights the adversities of poverty in a society that has taught us to fear this reality, and the power we have to change our fear once we are able to identify how it operates. She lives in the San Diego area and has lived in that region for most of her life, on both sides of the border, and her ministry is influenced by her fronteriza and immigrant experience. She believes in the healing power of words, rituals, and community.

Tania joined the UUA staff in 2024, with previous experience in parish ministry and hospital chaplaincy. She has a Master's Degree in Spanish Linguistics and Literature from San Diego State University, and a Masters of Divinity from Meadville Lombard Theological School. Tania was ordained into the Unitarian Universalist ministry in 2017. She is excited about all the different ways in which we express our humanity, and loves the company of friends, family, the natural world, poetry, music, and Spirit.
