Voices from the Past and Present

 

The Unitarian Life:
Voices From The Past And Present -
Download The Unitarian Life Flyer Here
edited by Stephen Lingwood

A thematic anthology of short texts by a wide range of Unitarians and Unitarian Universalists, presenting essential insights into a faith which is not always easy to define. Voices from the past are presented alongside voices from the present. Famous names appear alongside less well-known ones. This is a book to be used for personal reflection and public worship, and as a starting point for dialogue. The author hopes that it will be ‘thumbed through, written on, and meditated with, not simply read once and put on a shelf’.
