Beverly Unitarian Church is a Unitarian Universalist ("UU") church in Chicago, Illinois.




History


The church formed in 1951 by the merger of two congregations: the Beverly Unitarian Fellowship, which had begun in 1941, and the People's Liberal Church founded in 1878. People's Liberal Church was known by a variety of names over the years: In 1878 it was called the Unitarian Universalist Christian Union Society of Englewood, or simply the Christian Union Society; in 1880 on moving to a new building, it was named First Universalist Church of Englewood; in 1889 it moved to a larger building and was called Stewart Avenue Universalist Church.
Beverly Unitarian Church purchased the Givins Irish Castle building for $14,000 and has used it since 1942.
