Yes - it was through the UU Church of All Souls on Lexington Ave. that I was brought back to church. A Jewish baritone in the Met Opera chorus invited me. If I remember, engraved above the entrance is something like "Bring your intelligence in with you." All Souls was a founder of the Red Cross during the Civil War.

(for clarity-Clara Barton established the Red Cross in 1888. During a trip to Switzerland in 1869, Clara learned about the Red Cross movement, a European humanitarian effort to provide neutral aid to those injured in combat. Inspired by that cause, Clara volunteered with the International Committee of the Red Cross, providing civilian relief during the Franco-Prussian War. Prior to that, the United States Sanitary Commission was a primary organization that promoted health and welfare of soldiers during the Civil War. (for context, I'm a history buff, a Civil War re-enactor, and retired RN).
