Rev. Dr. Viki Brooks
Moderator
Rensselaerville Presbyterian Church
Sermon:
“How Do God’s Creatures Say Home”

The Rev. Dr. Viki Brooks has been a member of the Albany Presbytery for 30 years. She served Union College as the part-time campus Protestant minister for 20 years.  In 2009, after earning a doctor of ministry from Hartford Seminary, Union College extended her a second part-time role as director of religious and spiritual life. Her doctoral focus on interfaith chaplaincy was a huge asset in working with the various campus groups. In July of 2018, Viki retired from both positions with a deep sense of satisfaction for holding two such engaging positions that were more varied and fulfilling than she could ever have imagined.
