Report From Transylvania
Seven days ago, we landed in Romania to begin our journey in Transylvania and visit our partner church in Kolozsvár (Cluj in Romanian). We were met at the airport by the ministers of the First Unitarian Church of Kolozsvár, Norbi Rácz and Júlia Jobbgy, and driven to our hotel in downtown Cluj. Two hours later, we gathered to dine at the Bistro 1586, located in a medieval building, the former palace of the Unitarian bishop. We were seven from King’s Chapel and six from our partner church. We toasted each other with Palenca (Hungarian plum brandy), downed plates of food, and drowned our jet lag. Click here to read more.

Possible Pilgrimage to Alabama Civil Rights Sites, Fall 2023
We have just learned of three opportunities to visit Montgomery and Selma this fall, one led by the UU Living Legacy group, and two by June Cooper, UCC minister, who would have led the trip some of us had planned to take before its COVID cancellation. We must act soon to have a KC group to travel together, especially for a Cooper trip. The first step is to find out who is seriously interested. To read about the trip details, click here.
If you really hope to go and want to be included in choices and updates, email betsytpete@gmail.com as soon as possible. Let Betsy know if you are interested and if you have a strong preference among these choices.

Search for Assistant Minister
For several months, a search committee has been reviewing submissions and considering candidates to serve as our next Assistant Minister. The committee is Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, Meaghan Hamilton, Sally Brewster, Lucy Burke and our senior minister. This group represented a range of ages and length of membership at our church, a neighbor on Beacon Hill as well a suburban family, and worshippers from both services. We’re glad to have found a candidate who we expect will begin with us on September 1st, after completing service at the church where they are now serving. We’ll share more when Rev Fallon returns on June 26. Watch this space!

An interesting person in chapel history to get to know is actor Charlotte Cushman, both because it's Pride Month and because of last weekend's Tony Awards. Read about Cushman in our online exhibit.
