Welcome to those interested in Unitarian Universalism and what our church,
located in Memphis, Tennessee, offers. Be sure to read Welcome to learn about
our church, including our page with answers to frequently asked questions. Our
minister, Burton D. Carley, is described by a member of our congreation on the
page called Our Minister.
Church-related contact information and other general information including the
church's hours and location, is listed on the page, Contact and
Location. We have photographs from many events
 that have happened over the
past several years, available through Photo Galleries. Finally, the site map of our web site is available through General
Information.
The Church of the River is a community of families and individuals
who provide the bridge from the ancient past to the future in the long line of
people who have given themselves to the Life of the Spirit. We seek to raise up
those things that are precious and beautiful. We seek to hold up those things
which are to be treasured and desired, to hold them up for reverence.
We also seek to support and sustain one another no matter what befalls us
through all the ages and stages of life. Our church assists us in raising our
children with Unitarian and Universalist values, it helps our middle-aged
members grow older with significance, and it assists us in dying meaningfully as
a part of a tradition and a faith that serves humanity and the holy.
Thus do we covenant one another to seek what is good and true and just and wise
and lovely and holy, and to know what it is that is required of us by them. Thus
we bind ourselves to walk together in the paths of love to grow our souls and
stand against everything that would diminish the human spirit.
