Addae Ama Kraba is currently serving as Senior minister of First Universalist Church of Southold, NY on the east end of Long Island. She is the first African American to be settled in this congregation. A graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry.
Addae Ama's theology is grounded in the principal of Universal love that supports a belief that the impulse to love and be loved lies within each of us; but to have that love become manifest, it requires shaping traditions, obligations, and structures within our respective communities, because love means working together to create a world in which we all can thrive.
