Scott Anderson interviewed by Samantha Piccolo (Presbyterian Historical Society, Director of Development). Anderson is a Presbyterian minister, serving as pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church (Madison, Wis.) since 2016. Born in Sacramento, California in 1955, Anderson was ordained in 1983. In 1990, a member of his congregation outed him, forcing him to set aside his ordination. He later served as executive director of the California Council of Churches, and executive director of the Wisconsin Council of Churches. In 2011, Anderson returned to ordained ministry.
