Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unitarian Universalist religious movement is small in numbers, but has a long history as a radical, reforming movement within Protestantism, coupled with a larger, liberal social witness to the world. Both Unitarianism and Universalism began as Christian denominations, but rejected doctrinal constraints to embrace a human views of Jesus, an openness to continuing revelation, and a loving God who, they believed, wanted to be reconciled with all people. In the twentieth century Unitarian Universalism developed beyond Christianity and theism to embrace other religious perspectives, becoming more inclusive and multi-faith. Efforts to achieve justice and equality included civil rights for African-Americans, women and gays and lesbians, along with strident support for abortion rights, environmentalism and peace. Today the Unitarian Universalist movement is a world-wide faith that has expanded into several new countries in Africa, continued to develop in the Philippines and India, while maintaining historic footholds in Romania, Hungary, England, and especially the United States and Canada. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Unitarian Universalism contains a chronology, an introduction, an appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 400 cross-referenced entries on people, places, events and trends in the history of the Unitarian and Universalist faiths including American leaders and luminaries, important writers and social reformers. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Unitarian Universalism.

Download or read book Nature and the Principles that Guide Us in Life written by C Mahoney and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, I explore the principles of Unitarian Universalism through the lens of nature. With my camera as my companion, I wander through a botanical garden, capturing images that speak to the deep truths of our existence. Each photograph, transformed into a watercolor painting through the magic of AI software, becomes a visual meditation on the interconnectedness of all life. The poems that accompany these images weave together the essence of Unitarian Universalist principles with the wisdom of the natural world. From the worth and dignity of every living being to the quest for truth and meaning, each principle finds its echo in the garden's vibrant tapestry. The butterflies and bees remind me of the importance of acceptance and encouragement, while the changing seasons reflect the ever-evolving nature of our spiritual growth. As I walk along the paths, I contemplate the role of justice, equity, and compassion in our relationships with one another and the world around us. The diversity of the garden's inhabitants, from the tiniest insect to the tallest tree, speaks to the beauty and strength of our differences, and the need for a global community built on understanding and respect. Through the interplay of technology and creativity, this book becomes a testament to the power of art and nature to inspire and enlighten. It is an invitation to see the world anew, to find meaning and purpose in the intricate web of life that surrounds us. In the end, I come away with a deeper appreciation for the principles that guide my faith, and a renewed commitment to living them out in my daily life. This book is a celebration of the beauty and wisdom of the natural world, and a reminder of the sacred duty we all share to protect and cherish it.

Download or read book Growing up Absorbed written by Richard S. Gilbert and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How long does it take to grow a soul, to love and to be loved, and to help repair the world? One lifetime, so it is best to be totally engaged in the process. Growing Up Absorbed follows the journey from cradle to grave through an education focus. There are no shortcuts in this spiritual pilgrimage. It can be hard, but we are companioned along the way. What happens is what Gilbert calls spiritual osmosis, absorbing what the world has to teach us and passing on what we have learned: an absorbing business. Within these covers lies a history of religious education in the Unitarian Universalist tradition, with reflections on faith development in the 21st century. Beginning with Walt Whitmans poem A Child Went Forth as a metaphor, the author concludes with life questions that empty the room. He finds the journey has its valleys, plateaus and mountain peaks, and is no casual matter. Gilbert shares his excitement on making the journey.

Download or read book Bread and Other Miracles written by Lynn Ungar and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since I read Lynn Ungar's "Camas Lilies"—a poem that has touched the lives of thousands of people—I've hoped she would publish a collection of poetry. Bread and Other Miracles is a wish come true. These poems come from and speak to many dimensions of what it means to be human. But they have this in common: they take subtle, complex, and elusive experiences and make them accessible without diminishing the mystery. They give the reader a chance to walk around and into the miracles of everyday life, to dwell more deeply in self, other, nature, and spirit. Immerse yourself in this world of words and find yourself more deeply immersed in the world of your own life. —Parker J. Palmer (author of Healing the Heart of Democracy, Let Your Life Speak, and The Courage to Teach)

Download or read book The Call to Care written by Karen L. Hutt and published by Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations. This book was released on 2016 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, Unitarian Universalist chaplains come together to share why they care, who they care for, and how they care. In sixteen heartfelt and thoughtful essays, they provide a close-up view of their day-to-day ministry in hospitals, hospices, prisons, the military, the police force, and rehabilitation centers. With the increasing secularization of our culture and the growing numbers of religious seekers, Unitarian Universalist chaplains today play ever-more important roles in these institutions. They model non-sectarian care for a world that is increasingly spiritual but not religious. These writers open a window into the caring arts as they share their stories about companioning people in crisis who are on a journey to find meaning and purpose in difficult times.
