Rev. Aimee Moiso
Director of Ecumenical and Interfaith Ministries
My name is Aimee Moiso, and I’m thrilled to have joined the SCU Campus Ministry team in January 2008. Part of my time is devoted to working with Protestant students (I’m a Presbyterian minister) and students of other Christian traditions, like Eastern and Oriental Orthodox. In that capacity I’m also promoting ecumenism, which is work toward Christian unity across our various expressions and traditions, be they Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Evangelical, Pentecostal or nondenominational.
My job also provides a campus ministry link to students of other religions, like Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. I’m particularly interested in facilitating dialogue across our various traditions, through which we can all learn from one another and gain a deeper understanding of our own roots. As a campus minister for interfaith activities, I hope to not only foster conversation among different faith backgrounds but provide tools for building strong relationships within diversity.
I’m originally from Portland, Oregon, and a graduate of Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington. After college, I worked for several years at the anti-hunger advocacy organization Bread for the World in Washington, DC. I then attended San Francisco Theological Seminary where I received my Masters of Divinity and preparation for ordination in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). During 2006-2007, I lived in Geneva, Switzerland, and finished a masters degree at the Bossey Ecumenical Institute, a program of the World Council of Churches and the University of Geneva.
I love to travel the globe (though I hate jet lag!), eat Italian food (especially while in Italy), enjoy a good cup of coffee, bake yummy treats, hike and bike, try my hand at sewing and various crafts, and watch reruns of The West Wing – and often do more than one of these activities at the same time!
I was recently in Crete at an international ecumenical meeting. Click here to read my blog about that experience!
