UUC describes itself as a liberal church, but what does “liberal” mean today? The 4th Principle Dialogue Group has been discussing The Lost Histories of Liberalism by Helena Rosenblatt, and our conversations have been so lively that we’re extended the discussion for a third session. Please join us as we discuss this surprising history of competing trends within liberalism. Unitarianism appears several times in the book, and the topic the book raises are directly relevant to liberal religion.

You can read this short, paywall-free review if you want to know more. The Lost Histories of Liberalism is available at the UUC Bookstore, open after each Sunday service, as well as through libraries and commercial sellers. Feel free to join us even if you haven’t read the book.



The 4th Principle Dialogue Group promotes the “free & responsible search for truth & meaning,” pursuing the congregational goal of Connected Community. We get to know each other and connect to each other through meaningful, open-hearted dialogue. Drop-ins welcome. Homework not required. See more in UU Connect.
