WELCOME! First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh has been providing a liberal religious presence in Pittsburgh since 1890. We are located at the corner of Morewood and Ellsworth Avenues in Shadyside. The heart of our mission is to promote love, reason and freedom in religion, to foster lifelong spiritual growth, and to act for social justice. We encourage seekers of all faiths, nationalities, races, genders, ages, abilities and sexual orientations to visit our congregation. We hope that you will find the spiritual home that you are seeking. We are a religious community founded on individual freedom with responsibility and openness to truth wherever it may be found. In the fullest expression of our faith, we seek to support each other in the quest for meaning, in the celebration and enrichment of our common life and in our commitment to enhance the quality of life for all. Guided by individual conscience and wisdom from many sources, we gather in worship and service to nourish the spirit, work for justice, and celebrate the divine in all.

Exploring Humanism: Sundays in July and August, Reverend Alma Faith Crawford For four Sundays this Summer, immediately following the
morning service, Rev. Alma Faith Crawford will lead a discussion of Good
Without God: What A Billion Non-Religious People Do Believe, by Greg
Epstein, the humanist chaplain at Harvard who offers an updated defense
of humanism. More respectful of religion than the so-called "new
atheists," nonetheless he offers a sharp critique of spirituality
and secularism alike.

Based on the book A Chosen Faith, by John Buehrens and Forrest Church, this course explores the six theological sources of Unitarian Universalism and explains how Unitarian Universalism challenges and encourages us with regard to spiritual growth and social witness. Books will be available at the church or through the Unitarian Universalist Association Bookstore, www.uuabookstore.org.
