Unitarians established a church in the nation's capital in 1821,
and the first Universalist sermon in Washington was presented at
city hall in 1827. Since these beginnings, Washington-area
Unitarians and Universalists have created congregations that affirm
ideals of religious liberalism: a commitment to religious freedom,
a reasoned approach to faith, a hopeful view of human capacities to
create a better world, and the belief that God is most
authentically known as love. Images of America: Unitarians and
Universalists of Washington, D.C. features prominent figures such
as Robert Little, an English Unitarian who fled his native land and
became minister of First Unitarian Church of Washington; political
rivals John Quincy Adams and John C. Calhoun, both founding members
of the congregation; and Clara Barton, who organized the American
Red Cross after her experiences on the battlefields during the
Civil War. In 1961, Unitarians and Universalists joined together,
and the story continues as Unitarian Universalists interpret the
values of religious liberalism for each new generation.
