Who are we?
We are the Chapel in the Garden; an inclusive and welcoming space for all people committed to creating a loving community. A community grounded in the practice of loving-kindness, selfless service and friendship. How we treat each other is our founding principle.
We value all aspects of our community; our welcome and radical inclusivity are at the core of who we choose to be. We believe in our shared humanity, and that whatever our differences and customs are, we also have a lot in common.
We are a Unitarian chapel and we take inspiration from a variety of sacred and secular texts as well as from the people that have found a spiritual home here. We are curious about the sacred, and the beautiful mysteries of the Universe.
