After generations of one-year moderators, Peacock, like Ufford-Chase, will serve a two-year term, and her duties as vice moderator are expected to be broadened to make the moderator’s responsibilities more manageable.
She graduated from Louisville Seminary in 2000 and holds a masters degree in social work from Arizona State University. She has known Ufford-Chase for 18 years and was involved in mission work on the border when he arrived in Tucson to found BorderLinks, a not-for-profit organization that conducts travel seminars focusing on the issues of Mexican border communities.
Peacock began as a mission volunteer at Stony Point Center in New York and did mission work for seven years. She is a member of the National Committee of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, a group Ufford-Chase has co-moderated since 2001.
Peacock said to the Assembly: “It is indeed an honor and a privilege to have this opportunity to serve. I look forward to working with you, to hearing your concerns as well as your vision for the church as we move forward in our mission.”
