A Legacy of Learning
The Converse Library is named in honor of longtime member and past Board president John H. Converse. With a legacy rooted in BMPC’s commitment to spiritual formation and intellectual engagement, the library has served the congregation for generations.
Though its physical location has shifted—from the original Converse House to the Fullerton Room—its purpose has remained steadfast: to support thoughtful exploration of faith, justice, and community.
