Thank you for virtually joining in the conversation about the idea of changing UUCW's name as we prepare to design a new sign to go outside our building. You are welcome to join any of our on-going "listening sessions" where we share ideas and thoughts about this name change, but you are also welcome to share your ideas using the form below.
What's In Our Name?
Over the course of our history, since our founding in 1841, we have had three names, The Universalist Society of Worcester, The First Universalist Church of Worcester, and the Unitarian Universalist Church of Worcester. These names reflect the ethic and religious orientation of the congregation at various moments; ethics and orientations that have changed over time. Now the Board and and Aaron wonder if we have come to another moment when we might consider if our name reflects what we are and are becoming as a faith community.
