Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO)
Welcomes UCW at Delegate Assembly

The Union Church was welcomed with applause as the newest congregation in the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (gbio.org), at a delegate assembly on December 1. We are now part of a coalition of 42 Boston area churches, mosques, synagogues, and their allies working together on issues of social justice, including housing, health care, criminal justice, and education. Attending last week’s assembly, where we participated in a discussion about potential reforms to the criminal justice system, were Pastor Stacy, Pastor Amy, Intern Andrew, and 13 other UCW members. It was a powerful beginning to a new UCW mission effort.
