mailto:davylawyer1@gmail.comI once was a member of Throop (Memorial) Church, Unitarian Universalist. Located in Pasadena, California, it is the largest ex-Universalist church building west of the Mississippi River.
Note that what you are now reading is not the official site for Throop Church. The official site is now Throop Website. The former site was http://www.throopuuchurch.org". Prior to that the webside at www.throopuu.org contained which was not put on the current Throop website. There are likely some errors in the documents which I've written about Throop so please let me know about them.
