Rev. Oscar Talks About Realizing That His Story is Not Everyone’s Story

An All Our Fullness video on cultural identity.

Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair (he/him) grew up in East Lansing, Michigan and is a former community organizer who served in Lesotho in the Peace Corps. Within a year of completing his Peace Corps service, Oscar was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He was a member of the Unitarian Church of Baltimore and he describes his call to ministry as an unexpected coming to the realization that he wished to “embrace faith and hope even in the face of all that the world throws at us: faith despite, or maybe because of, all evidence to the contrary. I applied to seminary from a hospital room.” He, Stacie, and daughter Ailish came to St. Paul from Lincoln, Nebraska, where Rev. Oscar served the Unitarian church there. He has served as our senior minister of Unity Church-Unitarian since 2024.
