6 Eliot Street Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 office@firstchurchjp.org 617-221-3059 We are on the unceded territory of the Massachusett people, who have lived in reciprocity with the land for thousands of years. Our church building sits at a junction of roads that were once Indigenous trade and travel routes. First Church’s Puritan ancestors are responsible for the theft of these lands and for cultural and physical violence against Indigenous people. At least three of the church founders enslaved people of African descent. This church was also financially supported by members who were merchants profiting from the unpaid labor of enslaved people and the commodities they produced. Our congregation has begun the work of repair by learning and telling our more complete history. We will continue to work with community and denominational partners as we strive to make our community whole. We invite you to bring your open heart, your ideas, and your commitment into this work.

On Repentance and Repair

October 29, 2023 at 11:00 am Rev. Elizabeth Bukey Saunter

In her new book, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg draws on the writings of Maimonides to invite all of us into deeper practices of accountability and navigating conflict. On this Sunday, we begin to explore this life-giving and difficult work.
