Acknowledgements & Aspirations

At the February Board meeting, following the guidance of the Social Justice Council, First Parish in Hingham formally adopted a historical and land acknowledgment.

Discomfort Leads Us On

In her poem, The Layers, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer invites us to be with what aches and trust discomfort as a way forward. Join us as we explore the way vulnerability and distress strengthen capacity, builds resilience and prepares us for the world as we know it.
Liberating Love
January 11, 2026
Drawing on the ministry of Martin Luther King, Jr., we explore his criticism of white privileged moderates. Sitting with the discomfort of his message, we ask, “How shall we move through resistance and turn toward each other to build communities of resistance?”
Nurturing Generosity
November 9, 2025

To Care Without Drowning
