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.
