The light we kindle is set in the lamp of our history.
We inherit this free faith from the brave and gentle, fierce and outspoken,
hearts and minds that have come before us.
Let us be worthy inheritors of this faith, and through our good works, pass it boldly to a new generation.
~ Audette Fulbright (All Souls Associate Minister 2016-2023)
Welcome!
The Unitarian Church of All Souls NYC was founded on November 15th, 1819. From its humble beginnings in a downtown parlor to its rise as a flagship of Unitarian Universalism, it has been a beacon for liberal religious thinking for more than two centuries.
Come and help us to preserve All Soul’s history
Please join us for our 2024 Annual Meeting on
Sunday, November 10 at 1pm in Reidy Friendship Hall
The meeting will include reflections from Guy Quindlen, one of All Souls' longest-standing members.
We have some interesting projects coming up:
-
Taking care of our amazing art and artifacts, deciding how best to display them in the building to educate the congregation about our history
-
Interviewing long-time members of All Souls, making oral histories, and collecting community stories
-
Studying our digital archives to learn about our history, and organizing more of our records to be digitized
-
Organizing talks like the next Bellows Lecture, and giving tours of our building.
Our members are the heart of the Historical Society
and an integral part of the All Souls story.
Renew or become a new member of the ASHS
