Download or read book American Unitarian Churches written by Ann Marie Borys and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unitarian religious tradition was a product of the same eighteenth-century democratic ideals that fueled the American Revolution and informed the founding of the United States. Its liberal humanistic principles influenced institutions such as Harvard University and philosophical movements like Transcendentalism. Yet, its role in the history of American architecture is little known and studied. In American Unitarian Churches, Ann Marie Borys argues that the progressive values and identity of the Unitarian religion are intimately intertwined with ideals of American democracy and visibly expressed in the architecture of its churches. Over time, church architecture has continued to evolve in response to developments within the faith, and many contemporary projects are built to serve religious, practical, and civic functions simultaneously. Focusing primarily on churches of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple and Louis Kahn's First Unitarian Church, Borys explores building histories, biographies of leaders, and broader sociohistorical contexts. As this essential study makes clear, to examine Unitarianism through its churches is to see American architecture anew, and to find an authentic architectural expression of American democratic identity.

Download or read book Unitarians and Universalists of Washington written by Bruce T. Marshall and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unitarians established a church in the nations capital in 1821, and the first Universalist sermon in Washington was presented at city hall in 1827. Since these beginnings, Washington-area Unitarians and Universalists have created congregations that affirm ideals of religious liberalism: a commitment to religious freedom, a reasoned approach to faith, a hopeful view of human capacities to create a better world, and the belief that God is most authentically known as love. Images of America: Unitarians and Universalists of Washington, D.C. features prominent figures such as Robert Little, an English Unitarian who fled his native land and became minister of First Unitarian Church of Washington; political rivals John Quincy Adams and John C. Calhoun, both founding members of the congregation; and Clara Barton, who organized the American Red Cross after her experiences on the battlefields during the Civil War. In 1961, Unitarians and Universalists joined together, and the story continues as Unitarian Universalists interpret the values of religious liberalism for each new generation.

A history of the first unitarian church. the Portland of the sixties was a quiet frontier town of between five and ten thousand people, in the third decade of its history, reached by stage overland from California, and by two or three steamers monthly. It had then, as it has always had, in spite of the lawlessness and vice that so often characterize frontier towns, more than the usual proportion of Christian people, whether measured by their numbers, or by their influence in the community. It was. for its size, well supplied with churches. In 1865 there were already a Methodist, a Presbyterian, a Congregationalism a Baptist, an Episcopal, and a Catholic church. Among the residents of that early day there was, however, a considerable number of persons, including some of wealth and influence, who had been reared in the Liberal Christian faith, in New England and elsewhere in the East, both Unitarians and Universalists. Among tlin more prominent of these were Thomas Frazar and his wife, who had arrived as early as 1853; Mrs. Anna Cooke and her children, who came soon after; Mr. and Mrs. Ira Goodnough, Mrs. Abby W. Atwood, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Burrage. There was no organization among them as Liberal Christians. Many of them were not aware that the religious beliefs which they held were shared by others in the community. They therefore worshipped in the churches already established, contributed to the support of them according to their means, taught classes in the Sunday-schools, to which they also sent their children, and did their full share of general church work. At various times they were urged to join the churches with which they were associated. But they held firmly to their inheritance in Liberal Christianity, and waited for a...
