Unity Worldwide Ministry

Reverend Aliza Bloom-Robinson was a Godsend for Unity Church of the Hills. Her spiritual maturity, wisdom and open heart were just the right recipe for a Bridge-Interim Minister for our congregation. Faced with the lingering challenges of the abrupt loss of our senior ministers, transitions with two interim ministers, a global pandemic, shifts to virtual and then back to in-person ministry, she brought a steady hand to the helm and created a beautiful space for our new Senior Minister. Rev. Aliza was unflappable, centered, sprit-led and consistently maintained her unique sense of humor that endeared her to us. She will always be our Beloved Interim Minister.

“Rev. Aliza stepped in as our Bridge Interim Minister after a year of being without a senior minister. We had found an interim minister who after one month had to step away and we’d been without any spiritual leader for several months when Rev. Aliza arrived. This all was happening in the midst of and with the added challenges of Covid. She came into a staff that was weary, overwhelmed, overworked and confused. From the moment she arrived, she created a sense of spaciousness, light-hearted energy, and possibility. She guided, coached, led, inspired and softened the ground so that we could flourish once again. From the beginning, she was so clear in her boundaries as an interim minister that it made it easy to fall in love without getting attached. That’s not an easy thing to do, but Rev. Aliza made it easy. As a result, we were able to welcome in our new senior minister with open arms. She made that transition, hand-off seamless. I am profoundly grateful for her role in our community.”

 As president of the board of trustees I was deeply involved in the transition, and to some extent was one of the key figures that the membership was looking to for information and support. When Reverend Doug recommended Reverend Aliza in April, I asked for references from previous churches where she had been the transitional consultant and interim minister. One of the references was the Church of the Hills in Austin, Texas. When I called their president, he said “We found Reverend Aliza to be wonderful, with one exception.” “What was that?” I asked, taken aback. “Well,” he said, “we wanted her to be our permanent minister, but she turned us down.”

Whenever a minister retires and a new minister search effort begins an experienced and skilled transitional consultant/minister is essential to a successful outcome. And Rev Aliza is the best. Her support for our retiring minister and the congregation during this ending process was beautifully guided. And with grace and skill Aliza supported our congregation and leadership teams in the period of the unknowns, the Gap, while inspiring faith in the right and perfect outcome. And finally the transition to our new minister was meaningfully orchestrated by Aliza culminating with a beautiful service and ceremony.  Thank you Rev Aliza, you are the best!

Rev. Aliza Bloom Robinson was a great fit for our church. We was well received and enjoyed. It is often during a transition to have attendance drop, but not with Rev. Aliza. She maintained attendance and tithes remained consistent. Rev. Aliza worked well with our small staff and board of directors. She approached issues professionally and positively, which always resulted in Divine Order. I would highly recommend Rev. Aliza as a Transitional Minister. I am grateful for her time with Unity Tucson and look forward to when our paths cross again.

If your spiritual community ever has the opportunity to work with Rev. Aliza Bloom-Robinson, say YES immediately! While serving as our transitional consultant she knew just what to do and just when to do it, which provided a huge sense of relief to our Board of Trustees. She kept us on track and focused while also keeping us supported in myriad ways. As our transitional minister she kept the day=to-day functions of our church going while also giving a high-energy Sunday message. To say she is both a joy and delight to work with is an understatement.
