First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee

Beautiful church in the neighborhood I have always been curious about.
Thankfully with Doors open Milwaukee, I got to see the inside!
Built in the 1890s, it was built as a Unitarian church from the get go. The inside reflects those Victorian times it was built in, with dark wood bric a brac displaying some angels on top.
Renovations over the years modernized and expanded the church as well as making it «greener». The main hallway was once an outdoor walkway, a fireplace has been removed, and solar panels have been added. There’s a cute little court yard, and it still retains its 19^th century roots.

As anyone commenting here knows, you cannot review a church community like you do a car wash or pizza shop. For the First Unitarian Society, there is too much depth to this place.
With that said, here are some observations. This congregation and its ministers encourage us to explore «the inner dimension of depth» which is very personal for each person. The exploration is different for each person. Fortunately the ministers and the members are thoughtful people who really consider ideas. Refreshing indeed.
Because of its open nature and lack of anyone telling you exactly how to believe, it is unique. As our senior minister pointed out recently, it is one of the easiest churches to join, and at the same time one of the most difficult. Difficult if you want decisions made for you. However your spiritual path proceeds, there are many members walking with you on the journey.
This is a good place to be.
