Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder

In 2017, congregation members voted to become a sanctuary church[1] and from December 2017 to March 2022, undocumented immigrant Ingrid Encalada Latorre lived in sanctuary within the church building[2][3][4][5][6][7] prior to being pardoned[8][9] by Colorado Governor Jared Polis and granted a stay of removal in 2021.

[10][11] Encalada Latoree was one of more than 70 immigrants nationally who lived in sanctuary in churches during the Trump presidency.

[14][15] The charter required no minister, but at least ten religiously liberal laypeople who expressed sympathy with the purposes of the American Unitarian Association, had bylaws, and made an ongoing financial commitment to the AUA.

[16] In 2008, the UU Church of Boulder hired the first Developmental Minister in Unitarian Universalism.
