Hosted by the Three Rivers Free-Net
Since 1906, Allegheny Unitarian Universalist Church has
been a beacon not just of community, truth, and spiritual
growth, but of social advocacy and action.
So what do we do at Allegheny that's so special? We
provide a welcoming home for people from many religious
backgrounds and perspectives. We provide a non-judgmental
reception to people of diverse sexual orientations. As an
urban church, we work in partnership with the North Side
community of which we are a part, and with those whose
circumstances require a helping hand.
As a congregation and as individuals, we have
historically involved ourselves in issues of the times -
issues like women's suffrage, civil rights, urban
renewal, anti-war protests, and nuclear disarmament.
Today we're working on a broad range of social issues
including economic justice, racial diversity, gay rights,
community revitalization, homelessness and hunger, and
environmental issues.
As the 2nd oldest Unitarian Church in Pittsburgh, we've
been around awhile, but you won't find us stuck in the
past. We are growing in numbers and voice, experiencing a
rebirth of commitment and a new relevance to our work. We
invite you to come learn more about our community.

Faith-Based Organizing: AUUC's Vision
As part of our participation in the area-wide Pittsburgh Interfaith Impact Network (PIIN), AUUC conducted a listening campaign and held an issues' gathering in June. As we prepare to participate in the PIIN Issues' Convention later today, Art will offer the vision that we heard from AUUC members.
