About this title

Synopsis

This book is a history of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Eugene, Oregon. It covers the period 1909-2012, and it also gives background information about the Universalist presence in Eugene from 1858 until the Unitarian Church was founded in 1909. Extensive appendices provide biographies of the church's founders and many ministers, as well as statistical information, a concise time line, and other material.

About the Author

The authors are members of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Eugene and are members of the Archives Committee of the church. Gil Osgood first attended UUCE in the 1970s and became a member in 1984. He was a member of the Board of Trustees for a total of six years and has served on many church committees, including being the first chair of the Archives Committee. Kathleen Dillon is a 42 year member of this congregation where she has served in almost every position from scullery maid to board president. A poet and archivist, she is fascinated and inspired by the stories of those who came before us and the insight they provide for present and future actions. Ken Ross has been a member since 1988. He has served on many committees and was Board Secretary for four years. He was on a ministerial search committee, the Facilities Council, the Coordinating Council, and the Personnel Committee. Evelyn McConnaughey has been a member since 1949, possibly one with the longest seniority. She has led and participated in many social justice activities. She sang in the choir and served on numerous committees over the years. John Clay has been a member since 2005, and as such he is the new kid on the block. He is currently the chair of the Archives Committee.
