REV. FORREST CHURCH

September 23, 1948 — September 24, 2009

The Rev. Dr. Forrest Church, whose ministry transformed All Souls from a quiet congregation with a distinguished history into the nation's most visible exponent of liberal religion, died Thursday, September 24th, after a three-year battle with esophageal cancer. He was 61 years old. Forrest served as Senior Minister of All Souls for almost thirty years and was dearly beloved by this congregation. Forrest will be remembered as a loving pastor, an inspiring preacher, and a spiritual leader to Unitarian Universalists worldwide.
