- Description
- The building in winter Installing the organ from the former St. Bernard's Seminary in the auditorium The church building for First Unitarian Church of Rochester was designed by Louis Kahn and regularly draws architects, students, and other visitors from around the world. The congregation is theologically diverse (typical for UUs), including both theists and nontheists. The church has a long history of social justice activity (local historian Blake McKelvey once called it "Rochester's alert conscience and hospitable roof") which continues today in the form of support for marriage equality and other progressive (or, if you prefer, liberal) causes.
