Rev Terry is the part-time minister of UU Fellowship of Hendersonville.
She found Unitarian Universalism and her spiritual home at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, where she was a 20-year member. In her ministry, she has served as the neo-natal intensive care unit chaplain at Emory University Midtown Hospital in Atlanta; as the pastoral care minister at Eliot Chapel, a 600-member Unitarian Universalist congregation in St. Louis, Missouri; and as the solo minister at Northwest Unitarian Universalist Congregation, a 250-member faith community in suburban Atlanta.
Terry and her spouse Gail Hyde moved to Asheville in 2019 after Gail’s retirement as CIO of Habitat for Humanity International. During the early years of the pandemic, Terry completed an intensive two-year spiritual director certification program with the Haden Institute, an international and ecumenical program grounded in Jungian psycho-spiritual teachings.
She has a private spiritual direction and short-term counseling practice in Asheville.
And, for fun and as food for her soul, on Saturdays, Rev. Davis serves as a “Craggy Rover” (volunteer park ranger) on a 5,892-foot peak high above the Blue Ridge Parkway for the National Park Service.

What have we normalized in our culture that causes trauma to the human spirit? What actions can we UUs take for our individual and collective spiritual well being?
Many of us are likely familiar with the expression, “When one door closes, another opens.” But what do we think about it? Is it an overly-optimistic way of dealing with setbacks and loss? Or, is there a kernel of truth in it for spiritual seekers like us Unitarian Universalists?
This Sunday, bring your well-behaved furry, feathered, finned, or scaled animal companion (or a photo) to our own! And let’s explore ways we might “be like Francis” and advocate for the most vulnerable among us.
How might we each, in the words of Christian theologian and ethicist Lewis Smedes, practice the notion that “to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”?
What is the mud of your life? Of our collective lives as a community and nation? How might we encourage happiness to manifest in difficult times?
As a spiritual seeker, what sort of road assistance do I need for emergencies . . . and for everyday driving? Is my spiritual glovebox ready?
