Yes, All Faiths is welcoming, but that is not a unique claim. As I have been told, all congregations believe they are welcoming. After thinking about it I was able to articulate that All Faiths is set apart from other UU congregations because of its radical hospitality. Now this doesn’t mean we serve great coffee and the best cookies. Radical means “out of the ordinary,” “revolutionary,” even. So what would it mean to receive someone with a presence that was not just polite, but to receive them with revolutionary generosity?

​

I’m not talking about being politically correct, or legalistic—I’m talking about hospitality as spiritual practice. I’m not talking about just opening the doors—I’m talking about opening the heart. This is what we do at All Faiths. We are radical in our love for one another. I always say it’s highly unlikely that you will fall through the cracks here because we won’t let you. Here you are found. Here, you are seen. Here you are loved and appreciated.
