I've never attended a service here. I'm not religious. This is my confession…read more However! On game days, when all the surrounding lots jack their prices up to $50-60, this tiny church on Jersey Street accepts charitable (read: tax deductible) donations of only $30 for one of 10 spots, supervised the whole night. And by whole night, they say "til an hour after the game," but they say it with a wink and a smile and an undertone of "don't push it." And I respect that. And while again, I can't speak to measures of churchiness, it's Anglican worship. So if you're down with the A word, they're all about that grace 'bout that grace, no devil. (I read that Trainor pun on another church sign once and needed to use it somewhere. You're welcome.)

I will admit it can be tough to meet people on a Sunday morning, but I have been a part of one of their weekly community groups for years and they are my family in the city.

It is there where you'll have the opportunity to connect with folks. The staff and pastors are also all great folks, and it has been awesome to get to know them and their hearts for the Lord and the city of Boston.

My friends and I left this church after attending & serving in various capacities for many years…read more None of us wanted to leave. In fact, we stayed for as long as we did because we were looking for any possible reason to stay. Yet, in spite of all the feedback we gave, we felt like our experiences (of discrimination) were minimized and brushed off repeatedly in the 'spirit of forgiveness.' Confronting leaders one-on-one proved even less effective; we were told to be more understanding of others' ignorance, to lower our expectations with regards to general church dynamics, and to also consider not "crying so much." We felt like the worst was assumed about us, in order that leaders could continue to believe the best about themselves. While we do not blame any leader individually, we do pray that the pastors and elders at Aletheia may remember daily how easy it is to be led astray by personal pain and brokenness, by pride and a knowledge that so easily puffs up; and to remember that every sheep in their congregation is a child of God to be respected and loved and listened to; that every person's voice matters.

It's been a long but wonderful road. I am thankful for my membership at the First Unitarian in Philadelphia for many years and since I moved to Washington DC, at All Souls Unitarian. Still, this magnificent building is no different than going to Santiago de Compostela for a Roman Catholic and worth of a pilgrimage. This is the Unitarian Church that made it all happen in the world of Liberal religion and humanistic faith. Although the actual edifice has changed, within its confines, laid in 1729, the American Unitarian Church was founded. This was the worship center for Ralph Waldo Emerson, attended by David Thoreau, Pickering, and a Who's Who of our Founding Fathers. It was the home church of William Ellery Channing, who ministered there for almost 20 years. It was also one of the first sites of rebellion against the British, the site of Massachusetts's ratification of the Constitution, and the site of the first petition of 1788 for abolition of slavery. In modern times, it was also the site of the first legal same sex wedding in the United States in 2004. Like its sister church at All Souls in Washington, the edifice is patterned after St. Martin in the Fields in England. The 16 massive Tiffany stained glass windows surround the New England-style box pews of solid American chestnut where families would worship and keep away from Winter drafts. The service today was especially powerful. it was titled "No sanction for Bigotry" and was derived from George Washington's letter to the first Jewish synagogue in the US in Truro, Rhode Island, in which our Founding Father uttered these same words. The sermon was co-delivered by a Muslim imam and together, the Imam and the Reverend Kim K. Crawford Harvie delivered a rebuke to the radical philosophy of exclusion and hate proposed by many political pundits. The service was well attended and following the service, I was able to meet and chat with many of the parishioners. It was indeed a wonderful experience.

Community and authenticity are stressed and communicated/adopted well by most of the members. Key points: - Average age is about 28 - Multi-ethnic, but mostly Asian - Age groups include: many children including newborns up to until elementary kids, a solid group of college students, many young adults and young married couples, and solid group of married couples with children who are very involved in the church - Part of the ECC (Evangelical Covenant Church) - Most who attend are local in Brookline and Allston-Brighton Area - Small groups central part of church's mission - Contemporary worship service with talented full band - Free brunch after service, cooked by servant team - Size is about 100-200 every Sunday - Pastoral Staff is usually around 4-5 - Many opportunities to serve - All small groups are cross-lifestage and are not gender-limited One takeaway I will never forget is my small group, which I consider my second family.
