Church of the Pilgrims

This place is more Unitarian, rather than Presbyterian. While they have a good social justice history, the pews are becoming increasingly empty, as they implement theologically-​questionable rituals more akin to venerating Mother Earth, as opposed to Father God. It’s a congregation grasping at all sorts of straws, in an effort to attract everyone. Yet, more are heading out the back door, as opposed to those coming in the front door.

Church of the Pilgrims is where I learned to live a Christian lifestyle. I don’t mean I learned to follow a bunch of rules or how to judge others.
What I learned was how to express God’s love for all through service, compassion and justice. I learned to see the face of God in all people. I learned that the church is a place for everyone and that we are all on a journey together. I learned to be happy with the parts of the liturgy I loved and to gamely participate in the parts that weren’t my cup of tea.
I found at Pilgrims a fun and unique family while I lived in Washington, DC.
I do have one complaint about Pilgrims. It has made finding a new church home very challenging now that I have moved away.
