Letter: Welcoming IFC

Posted on January 27, 2011January 27, 2011 by Staff

United Church of Chapel Hill will be the closest neighbor to the to the Inter-Faith Council’s proposed men’s transitional housing facility, Community House.

From 1969 until 1999, we were neighbors as the Inter-Faith Council was in a church building on Wilson Street when we gathered for worship on Cameron Avenue. For 30 years, they were good neighbors, including those weeks of the shelter’s existence when it was in the fellowship hall of United Church of Chapel Hill. 

United Church has 30 years of experience with the IFC as a neighbor who promotes public health, safety and welfare.

United Church welcomes a neighbor that shares our purposes – creating a community of formation that an individual may know the full value of being a child of God and a member of a community, may change, may develop practices and disciplines to sustain a valued and changed life, may discern purpose and meaning and may grow in the assurance that there is hope for their future. 

Not every neighbor in this sector of Chapel Hill has had the Inter-Faith Council as a neighbor for 30 years, but United Church has. We welcome them to be our neighbor again.

Rev. Richard Edens
Pastor, United Church of Chapel Hill
