Emmanuel Center

In September 2007, our vestry and the board of Boston Jewish Spirit (now Central Reform Temple) voted unanimously to sponsor a new organization called Emmanuel Center: An Urban Interfaith Community for Spirituality and the Arts. It has become a nexus of worship, inquiry, community service, and celebration.The Temple’s website describes some of the Center’s activities. The Center has become active in the maintenance, restoration, and renovation of the historic buildings at 15 Newbury Street.

Purpose of the Center

Emmanuel Center is the programmatic partnership of Central Reform Temple and Emmanuel Church. Our two congregations are faithfully rooted in our distinct religious traditions and shared spiritual heritage. We strive to model compassionate encounters between Judaism and Christianity that affirm the difficult challenges of history and aspire to new levels of understanding. We collaborate with arts and educational groups on events that explore spiritual and ethical perspectives on our shared human experience.
