                   TRIBUTE TO REV. LEONETTA BUGLEISI

                                 ______


                           HON. BOBBY L. RUSH

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 24, 1994

  Mr. RUSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to the 
Reverend Leonetta Bugleisi. On Sunday, February 27, Reverend Bugleisi 
will be installed at Beverly Unitarian Church, in Chicago, IL. She 
received her master's of divinity from United Theological Seminary, a 
United Church of Christ seminary in St. Paul, MN, in 1989. Since 
completing seminary, she served as an intern at First Universalist 
Church in Minneapolis, MN (one of the fastest growing Unitarian 
Universalist churches in the country); provided ministry to Unitarian 
Universalist. Fellowship of Mankato, MN; and, most recently, was the 
full-time minister of Emerson Unitarian Universalist Chapel in St. 
Louis, MO.
  Reverend Bugleisi believes in applying the seven Unitarian 
Universalist principles to one's daily life. She affirms and promotes 
positive forces such as truth, democracy, and the worth of each person. 
I am certain she will use her ministry at Beverly Unitarian Church to 
broaden awareness and strengthen spirituality in her congregation and 
in the greater community. It is people like Reverend Bugleisi who are 
so instrumental in creating clear responses to the problems we face on 
an individual, community, and global level.
  I commend her and the Beverly Unitarian Church for their dedication 
to the spiritual lives of their congregation and to the good of the 
greater community, and wish her the best of luck in the days ahead.
