Nearly two years after receiving her master’s degree in divinity from the Boston University School of Theology, Rev. Joanne Hus still marvels at the fact she’s wearing a clerical collar.
Her resolutely non-religious parents never even celebrated Easter, Ms. Hus told the Gazette during an interview at the parish hall of the United Methodist Church in Oak Bluffs, where she became pastor last July.
“It’s so weird to me that I’m here,” Ms. Hus said, smiling as she recalled the journey that led her to Christianity in her early 30s, the theological seminary in her late 50s and a Martha’s Vineyard pulpit for her first appointment.
