A church on Nantucket says it won’t host its Fourth of July readings of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights as America celebrates its 250th anniversary because of “our own whiteness.”
Division has sprouted in the quaint Massachusetts island community after the Nantucket Unitarian Universalists announced that it wouldn’t be holding its annual holiday readings of America’s founding documents in “political protest.”
The Nantucket Unitarian Universalists, which says it puts its “faith into action through social justice work,” is pointing directly to the Supreme Court’s ruling that electoral mapmakers relied too heavily on racial demographics to hit specific minority-representation targets.
“We came to this decision in large measure because of the recent gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court,” Rev. Erin Splaine and the group’s board of trustees wrote in a letter to the Nantucket Current news outlet on Thursday. ” A celebration without context and the centering of the fullness of our American Story only perpetuates the harm, injustice, and anti-democratic process.”

Nuts
There once was a “church” on Nantucket...
Feel free to complete.
Universalist Unitarian are that. Viz. nuts. Theirs is no religion and certainly not Christian. They stand for nothing and fall for everything.
Minister
The Rev. Erin Splaine began her ministry here on August 1, 2025 which marks her return to the congregation where she first heard the call to ministry over 30 years ago. Erin earned a bachelor’s degree at Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York, and her master’s degree in Divinity from Harvard Divinity School.
Well, there’s also red and blue!
It went to Hell in a bucket.
They told the Constitution to F^%$ It
Unitarian , As a friend once said: there is no room in heaven for unitarians.
And you will notice these particular whites have the "privilege" of living where they don't have to deal with blacks very much.
Yeah the preacher is black, but the congregation is not.
Lesbian white women preaching the word of God is a pretty large mockery.
I thought it was a Christian church until I read the 2nd or 3rd sentence. Unitarian clubs are not churches.

You are SO RIGHT!!
Not only are they not a church, they are a DEMONIC cult!!
What? OMG!
Why are white people so suicidal? Aren’t these the same hypocrites who had a bunch of bussed in illegals moved back to the mainland?
A church without Christ ain’t a church...........
