Our Building, the Interfaith Center

History

UCM established the Interfaith Center to express its commitment to inclusion and interfaith dialogue.  Over the years, we have shared this space with several other faith and social justice groups working together to create a better world. 

Space

Located at the corner of Grand Avenue and S. Illinois Avenue, UCM's Interfaith Center provides space for a variety of groups which regularly meet there. It also offers space for special events. For reservation availability and rates, contact UCM at 618-549-7387.

Dave Colombo Memorial Library

The Interfaith Center has a extensive library of books, videos, CDs, and magazines on a variety of topics related to spirituality, inspiration, scripture, theology, ecology, self help, world religions, peace and social justice.  The library is free and also offers space for meditation, meetings, and Internet access.  It is available to all and is run on the honor system.

The Labyrinth Peace Garden

A labyrinth is a winding, meditative walkway used for spiritual growth, creativity, healing, and centering.  The Labyrinth Peace Garden at the Interfaith Center includes a small waterfall, flowering plants, benches, a picnic table, and a unique labyrinth inscribed on the cement foundation of a former geodesic dome built by Buckminster Fuller.

All are invited to visit throughout the year.  Educational programs and assisted group labyrinth walks may be scheduled by calling 618-549-7387.
