Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley (UUCB) was founded as the First Unitarian Church of Berkeley in Berkeley, California in 1891 and moved to Kensington, California in 1961. It is one of the oldest and largest Unitarian Universalist churches on the West Coast and has had many distinguished members, including numerous professors at the University of California, Berkeley. It is highly regarded for its music program as well as its series of renowned ministers and its many avenues for spiritual growth, learning, and social action. It was led by co-ministers Rev. Barbara Hamilton-Holway and Rev. Bill Hamilton-Holway from 1996 to their retirement and designation as Ministers Emeriti in 2014. Bill Hamilton-Holway served as president of the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association from 2010 to 2013.
== History ==
The First Unitarian Church of Berkeley was founded on July 12, 1891. (The name was changed to Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley in 1998.) Its first minister was Edward B. Payne. The church occupied rented quarters for several years, purchasing land for a building at Bancroft Way and Dana Street in 1893. Following a resolution by the Pacific Coast Unitarian Conference to establish a Unitarian divinity school, an ambitious design for the church and seminary was drawn by architect Joachim Mathisen.〔William Carey Jones, ''Illustrated History of the University of California, 1868-1895'', pp. 95-97. The author, William Carey Jones, was one of the church leaders and the seller of the parcel of land.〕 However, the Panic of 1893 intervened, and the seminary did not materialize until later, eventually becoming the Starr King School for the Ministry. A more modest design by A. C. Schweinfurth for the church alone was built in 1898.〔"A Departure in Church Architecture," ''San Francisco Call'', 26 June 1898.〕 The redwood-shingled First Unitarian Church became a landmark of Bay Region "building with nature" architecture and still stands at the same location, now used as a dance studio on the University of California campus.〔Leslie M. Freudenheim, ''Building with Nature: Inspiration for the Arts and Crafts Home'', pp. 108-113.()〕 It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) since 1981.
Bernard Maybeck, another leading California Arts and Crafts architect, was a member of the church and designed its parish hall, built in 1909 (not extant). (He had been out of the country during the period when the Schweinfurth building was designed and built.) He also made sketches for a Mission Revival style building for the Pacific Unitarian School for the Ministry.〔http://oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/tf2f59n6gd/?docId=tf2f59n6gd&brand=oac4&layout=printable-details〕 In the mid 1950s, the elderly Maybeck was also the owner of a tract of land in Kensington, an unincorporated area of the Berkeley Hills, which he sold at a discount to the church when it had outgrown its old building and the university had taken the property through eminent domain.〔"Jury Awards $329,400 to Condemned Berkeley Church in Path of U.C. Expansion," ''Oakland Tribune'', 14 May 1959, p. 9.〕 A new church building on the Kensington site was designed by Wurster, Bernardi & Emmons with Theodore Bernardi as lead architect.〔 Bernardi was a great admirer of Maybeck and said Maybeck's work influenced his church design.〔Mark Treib, ed., ''An Everyday Modernism: The Houses of William Wurster''(1995, ISBN 978-0520205505), pp. 210 and 225〕 Geraldine Knight Scott was the landscape architect. The congregation began using the main building in 1961; two religious education classroom buildings were added soon thereafter.
During the planning for the move to Kensington, a segment of the congregation, dissatisfied with the move and the leadership of the Rev. J. Raymond Cope, decided to remain in Berkeley proper. They formed the (Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists ), which still exists at Cedar and Bonita Streets.
