I belong to FCCB–the First Congregational Church of Berkeley–a United Church of Christ congregation led by Rev. Patricia de Jong, who previously served with William Sloan Coffin at New York’s Riverside Church. The UCC is the first main-stream church in North America to have ordained an African-American (1785), a woman (1853) and an openly gay pastor (1972). FCCB is an Open and Affirming congregation: “In the Spirit of love, openness, and inclusiveness we welcome persons of every sexual orientation, race, nationality, ability, age and gender to participate fully in all aspects of our Church’s life and ministry.” Plus, the music is incredible. 11 a.m. Sundays, Dana between Durant and Channing, Berkeley.
