Justine Taylor

Reverend Justine Taylor is an antagonist in Peri's Bliss. She is the minister at First Unitarian Church, and portrayed as overbearing and manipulative, using her position to control the lay leadership in the church and restrict discussions around sexuality. After several First Unitarian members leave, with some joining the Free Spirit Local Gathering, she joins forces with Nate Roth and his "Citizens Concerned" group. Her dogmatic radical feminism is a counterpoint to the more inclusive and sex-positive feminism of Peri Winger and other Free Spirits. Eventually, Taylor's heavy-handed approach has a negative effect on the church's membership and fundraising, leading to a confrontation with the church board and her resignation. She is later mentioned in Amalia's Truth, Priscilla's Transformation and Sophie's Wisdom.
