This sterling affirmation of liberalism is as relevant in the 21st century as it was when first published in 1964. A minister for more than fifty years, Mendelsohn examines the distinguished roots of Unitarian Universalism and the underlying factors that have drawn many leaders to this faith. The 2006 edition features a fresh introduction by the author and a foreword by Reverend Scotty McLennan, dean for religious life at Stanford University.
