Fourth Universalist Society in the City of New York

The Fourth Universalist Society, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, is a historic congregation founded in 1838, known for its commitment to universal salvation and social justice. As the last surviving Universalist church in New York City, it welcomes a diverse array of beliefs and practices. The church, often referred to as 'the Cathedral of Universalism', features stunning architecture inspired by English Gothic design, with notable artistic works including a Tiffany altar and a Carnegie-donated organ. The congregation actively engages in social justice initiatives, including immigration advocacy and environmentalism, and has become a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants. Its iconic tower serves as a command center for NBC during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, making it a significant landmark in the city.
