The Unitarian Universalist Pocket Guide Summary

The Unitarian Universalist Pocket Guide by Melissa Harris-Perry (Melissa Harris-Perry)

This is the most complete introduction to Unitarian Universalism available, covering ministry, worship, religious education, social justice and history. Extensively revised, the sixth edition prepares readers with resources and information for this crucial moment in Unitarian Universalism. It, also, gives voice to many individual Unitarian Universalists - people of all ages, coming from many backgrounds and holding many beliefs - as they share their personal and deeply heartfelt testimonies. Contributors include Rosemary Bray McNatt, Erika Hewitt, Cheryl Walker, Jessica York, Elizabeth Nguyen, Aisha Hauser and Dan McKanan. The foreword was written by lifelong Unitarian Universalist Melissa Harris-Perry - writer, professor, political commentator and editor-at-large at Elle.com.

The Unitarian Universalist Pocket Guide Reviews

If you have never heard of Unitarian Universalism, these pages will teach you something about our history, our faith, our worship, our religious education, and our social justice efforts. If you are new to Unitarian Universalism, these pages will help you learn more about the larger tradition of which your local congregation is part. If you are a lifelong UU, like me, these pages will remind you of our deep roots, our fierce commitments, and our continuing efforts. There is a great deal of information in these pages, but you will not find definitive answers to all your questions. In fact, you may find this book raises more questions than it settles, but that, of course, is at the very heart of Unitarian Universalism. The journey is the joy. The companions are the comfort. The work is the faith. -from the foreword by Melissa Harris-Perry, writer, professor, and political commentator
