Our inclusive religious community welcomes individuals with diverse spiritualities. Our shared values include the use of reason in matters of faith, freedom from dogma and fundamentalism in religion, commitment to lifelong spiritual growth, and engagement in social justice. We live our faith through acts of compassion and justice, believing the world can be transformed by love. Our community has been a liberal religious presence in downtown Reading, PA, since 1832.
