“The Journey”
Join us for a beautiful Sunday of remembrance, resilience, and hope. Together, we will honor Black History Month through the living power of story and song.

​You Are Welcome Here!
​
The Unitarian Church of Hinsdale (UCH) is an official Unitarian Universalist Association Welcoming Congregation.

​We believe each person has a share of the truth and we need one another to grow whole. We welcome young and old, families and singles, all the colors and cultures of the human race – gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning and straight. 

​
Unitarian Universalism (UU)'s approach to belief is that spiritual and ethical values should fit individuals, rather than fitting everyone into the same religious mold. We have no single religious text or creed to which you must agree. Rather, we draw from the world’s wisdom traditions and the words and lives of women and men who have brought beauty, justice, tolerance, and freedom into being.

Justice Work

It is impossible to struggle for civil rights, equal rights for blacks, without including whites. Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air; we all have it or none of us has it. That is the truth of it. ~ Maya Angelou

The Social Justice Circle brings together multiple teams to ensure that we are coordinated, and to find opportunities for deepening connections.  The Social Justice Circle teams include:
  • Animal Ministry
  • Fair Trade Table
  • Green Sanctuary
  • Immigration Work
  • BEDS Plus Homeless Support
  • Prison Ministry
  • Racial Equity Team
  • Reproductive Choice
  • Welcoming Congregation
​ 
​These teams work together with  UUANI and UUPMI , other faith communities and partners to advance our values. For more detailed information, most teams are listed separately on this website. 

At the root of our UU faith is that we are all connected; we are more ourselves, the more we connect with others.  So join the work of the Social Justice Circle and see what we can accomplish together! For info, contact

Learn

Life becomes religious whenever we make it so: when some new light is seen, when some deeper appreciation is felt, when some larger outlook is gained, when some nobler purpose is formed, when some task is well done. ~ Sophia Lyon Fahs
