Revd John Magisano (Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches) served as Chelsea Community Church's Pastoral Counselor for 11 years (2004 - 2015). He earned his Master of Divinity Degree at New York Theological Seminary in 1999 and served several congregations before retiring from active clergy status last year. He now provides pulpit supply wherever he is invited. He is also retired from his secular career in the public and nonprofit sectors. He lives in Brooklyn with his husband Xris and their feline overlord, Fergus, a grey tuxedo, one-eyed, polydactyl pirate cat who runs the house with an iron fist.
