Social Justice at the
Unitarian Fellowship of West Chester
One thing that Julia Ward
Howe and Theodore Parker can teach us…is that the time
it will take us to address issues of injustice is
exactly equal to our lifespan.
Social Justice was designated as one of five key
ministries at the Unitarian Fellowship of West Chester
(UFWC) by the congregation in 2003. Accordingly, the
Board of Trustees voted to form a Social Justice
Committee in 2004.
Historically, Social Justice has taken many paths at
UFWC. At one time there was a committee, but this was
later replaced by Task Forces, which pursued specific
projects and had to be renewed yearly.
The new Social Justice Committee is an umbrella
structure to envision, promote, coordinate, and support
social justice efforts.
Those interested in being involved with a social justice
issue are encouraged to contact the committee, and we
welcome you to join the committee and attend the monthly
meeting.
