All Souls Church, Unitarian is a progressive religious community located in the heart of Washington, DC, at the intersection of the Mt. Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and Columbia Heights neighborhoods. We walk diverse spiritual paths to find meaning and purpose in our lives, but we are united in our belief in the worth and dignity of all people, and the obligation to express our faith through acts of justice and compassion. We hope you'll join us as we create a diverse, spirit-growing, justice-seeking community that is true to our name, All Souls!
-- Rev. Robert Hardies and Rev. Shana Lynngood

2008 Spring Green Resolution
After tallying the fantastic results from more than 100 participants in the 2007, the Seventh Principle group is unveiling the 2008 Spring Green Resolution. The Resolution is a congregational project in which members commit to green actions at three levels: in their personal lives, at church, and in the larger community.
Differently focused from last year’s, the 2008 Resolution is open to all congregants, both those who signed on last year and those newly ready to give it a go. The form is easy to fill out; choose from the preset options or add your own creative commitment, and then sign your name. Every action counts, so sign up by the end of May to make All Souls a greener church.
Church Council Planning Meeting
The All Souls Church Council invites all congregants to its annual Planning Meeting on Saturday, May 31, 9:00 am – 2:00 pm, in Pierce Hall. This year’s theme is Widening the Circle: Caring, Connected, and Inclusive. The Council wants to hear your ideas about concrete actions the church might take to become a more connected and caring community. To complete a survey on this topic, pre-air your views, or ask questions, contact Council Moderator Jody Feldman.
Other business will include an update from Building the Beloved Community and identifying candidates for next year's Nominating Committee. Breakfast and lunch will be served, for which the Council asks a small donation.
2008 Church Retreat
From Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8, All Souls will gather at Camp Letts on the Chesapeake Bay for a weekend of community and fun. Go to the Church Retreat page for more details and to download the registration form.
The Ministers' Journey towards Social Justice
1821 - Present
We still deal with many of the same issues today that the All Souls ministers have been challenging their members to consider through almost 200 years in the nation’s capital: race, rights, environment, peace and more. The Ministers’ Journey tells a story of leadership, courage and justice through almost two centuries of work in contentious times.
Silver Souls cordially invite you to visit this fascinating exhibition in Pierce Hall, weekdays 11:00 am - 5:00 pm and weekends 9:00 am - 3:00 pm. Or view it online.
The "Music From All Souls" CD is available online
 Welcome to the music of All Souls! Joyful music is central to our life together at All Souls. The rhythms and melodies contained on this CD come from the many cultures that make up our diverse congregation.
The All Souls Choir was founded as one of the first multiracial choirs in Washington, DC. Today the choir celebrates a half century of musical excellence, singing a repertoire as diverse as the membership of All Souls Church. The artistic versatility of the singers allows the ensemble to perform everything from ancient church chant to Faure to spirituals to South African songs, jazz, and gospel.
The CD can be ordered online.
