The Kearsarge Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
Our Purpose
We unite to grow in
understanding of ourselves and of our world, to promote and serve the universal
human family.
Our History
In 1983 a group of some 40
people responded to an advertisement and met to explore the possibilities of a
Unitarian Universalist Congregation in the New London area.
From this initial show of interest in liberal religion, a group of 17
charter members formed what is now the Kearsarge Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship. Beginning with two
meetings a month at Colby-Sawyer College, the Fellowship later moved to the
Masonic Lodge (a former Unitarian Church) in Potter Place which gave us space
for religious education and social activities.
The past few years, thanks to the generosity of Proctor Academy, which
has Unitarian roots, we have been meeting at the Stone Chapel of Proctor Academy
and now meet every Sunday except July and August.
Our members come primarily from Andover, Bradford, Grantham, New London,
Springfield, Sunapee, Sutton and Wilmot..
