A Church Beyond Belief

Phillip Schug, our local Unitarian church’s first humanist minister, helped bring “McCollum v Champaign County Board of Education” to the Supreme Court, resulting in forced prayer in public school being declared unconstitutional. This coming spring will the the 80th anniversary of Vashti McCollum first filing suit in this case. This service lifts up this story, as part of our story, honoring the ways we still fight to make space for diversity of belief and practice.
