Welcome to All Souls

Welcome to All Souls—since 1819 a congregation of open minds and hearts in New York City. Those who gather in the sanctuary for worship do so with hearts open to the mysteries of love and minds open to the wisdom of truth.

We welcome those who are searching and questioning, those who would be stimulated by further growth, those who seek to live lives of justice and compassion, and those who are hurting or bereaved.

This congregation welcomes you and invites you to be part of our community of caring and friendliness. We proclaim a life-affirming faith that lifts us to a greater awareness of who we are and what we can become. Everyone who shares this spirit of community is welcome to be a part of our village in the city.

All Souls is a religious community:

 • In the experience of worship, we gather to contemplate the mystery of God, interpret the wisdom of religion, and explore the insights of science. Our purpose is to awaken our sense of the sacred and renew our resolve to transform ourselves and our world.

• As human beings, we all emerge from the same Source and share the same Destiny. As a community of faith, we make shared commitments and offer mutual support. As indivi­duals, we each bear responsibility for our own beliefs and actions.

• We practice a discipline of gratitude, by which we acknowledge our utter dependence on the people and world around us, and we practice an ethic of gratitude, by which we accept our obligation to nurture others and the world in return.
