Walpole Unitarian Church

        One church, many paths

                                           ...even spiral ones!

         Come, Come, Whoever You Are!

             We're so glad you found us!

            The Walpole Unitarian Church is a congregation of people who have been committed and involved in the church for decades, as well as newcomers just entering our community.

            We embrace a diversity of religious beliefs and practices, celebrating and honoring faith traditions that offer an abundance of common ground and richness of thought and spiritual exploration. 

Our Upcoming Services:

Sunday, January 19 – “Facing White Privilege,” with Rev. Elaine Bomford. 

On Martin Luther King Sunday, we tap challenging insights of black authors Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Claudia Rankine to understand, from their perspectives, the privilege white people in America exercise. 

Sunday, January 26 – “Countering Islamophobia: Understanding our Muslim Brothers and Sisters” – Reverend Dr. M’ellen Kennedy. As Muslims are being maligned nationally and we are being whipped up into fear of Islam and Muslims, what do we really have to be afraid of? Let’s explore where Islamophobia comes from anyway and what it’s about. Come hear stories and experiences from the perspective of a Sufi (the mystical tradition of Islam) and an active participant in the national grassroots effort to counter Islamophobia for the past eight years.

Sunday, February 2  – “Blessings,” Circle Sunday with Wendy Harty, at Hastings Parish House.

Thoughts and Meditations:

           If we can muster up that degree of commitment and get away from the uniquely American perception that if something can't be done immediately it isn't worth doing, then I think the Hunger Movement, this small but growing minority of us, can have a truly significant impact.
