Richard Trudeau is minister emeritus of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Weymouth, Massachusetts; he is also professor emeritus of Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts, where he specialized in the history of mathematics, the philosophy of science and the history of astronomy. He wrote other books such as Bible Stories for Skeptics: Why You Don't Have to Believe in the Supernatural to Be a Christian--or a Jew,The Non-Euclidean Revolution,Dots and lines,Introduction to Graph Theory, etc.He wrote in the ‘A Letter to the Reader’ section of this 2009 book, “With the loss of Universalist perspective, our combined Unitarian Universalist religious movement is being impoverished, Universalism was different from Unitarianism. It originated among laypeople, not clergy. It drew on the experience of a less privileged social class. Its message was more radical, its scope was larger, and its taproot went deeper into the heart. I have tried to present all of Universalism’s distinctive ideas and make clear their relationships to each other.†(Pg. v-vi)He goes on, “In 1960-61, when the Unitarian and Universalist denominations combined, the Universalists---less prosperous, less educated, less confident, and outnumbered five to one---were afraid of being swallowed up. For a while it looked as if their fears were justified. Both Universalist seminaries were closed… And in town after town, once the Universalist church had gamely changed its name to ‘Unitarian Universalist’ church, people started calling it ‘the Unitarian church.’ … Unitarianism was about freedom, reason, and tolerance. Universalism held those values, too, but emphasized what it called ‘the supreme worth of every human personality.’ God loves everybody, Universalists said. God’s love is universal.†(Pg. vii)He explains, “in 1961, when the denominations joined forces, there were a total of 151,557 adult UUs. Forty years later, there were 156,968 adult UUS or a net gain of less than four percent. Meanwhile the population of North America went up something like fifty percent, so as a percentage of the population, we actually declined considerably in forty years.†(Pg. 20)He acknowledges, “Some say that Unitarian Universalism is the gateway from Methodism to golf. I think there’s a lot of truth to that. Regularly people come to our churches, are encouraged to turn their backs on their former religions and then, not finding much to stay for, leave---sometimes for another church but often, for the Sunday paper or golf. We don’t encourage people to confront their religious pasts.†(Pg. 27)He suggests, “In many UU churches, the elephant [in the room] is Christianity. A majority of Unitarian Universalists---including a majority of our ministers---have unresolved conflicts with Christianity. There is a need, therefore, to talk about Christianity. We need to take it apart, distinguish its varieties, jettison what is not useful and keep what it. We need to do this, but mostly we do not.†(Pg. 33)He notes, “In 1861, Universalists were one of America’s largest denominations, many times larger than the Unitarian denomination. But by 1961, Universalists had shrunk to a tiny denomination, outnumbers by the always-small Unitarian denomination five to one. One reason for Universalism’s decline was that its distinctiveness was blurred when other denominations began to downplay hellfire and emphasize God’s love. Churchgoers made a calculation: ‘Why should I go to the Universalist church when I can go to another, more socially prominent church, where the theological message is practically the same?’†(Pg. 54-55)This book will be of great interest to UUs, but also to those with other liberal/progressive religious leanings (including “mainstream†churches).
Very important book for Unitarian Universalists, esp ministers and leaders. Too often we do not appreciate our Universalist past as much as we should, nor the Christian origins of the UU denomination. This book can balance out some of the missing aspects in the UU denomination, as often practiced today. Not long so fast to read.
This is an important book for all UU's to read. When the Unitarian and Universalist organizations merged in 1961, there was a fear among Universalists that due to their smaller number, their unique ideas would be lost in the merge. To a large degree, this fear has come to pass. Universalism 101 is the antidote. The ideas of Universalism "in a nutshell" are provided and discussed, pointing out how even the most highly respected members of the UU movement (including Forrest Church) have sometimes not provided entirely accurate images of Universalism. The similarities and differences between Universalism and Unitarianism are explained, and the unique "flavor" of Universalism as a religion, as a social movement, as not separable from the Christian tradition (or at least the Jesus tradition, as opposed to Christianity), all come through. Not a long or plodding academic tome, this book is well worth reading for modern UU's, particularly those who sometimes feel as though their Church is not actually a religion anymore. UU's who tend to only emphasize the "Unitarian" element and history will come to realize that much of what they most treasure from their tradition actually originated on the Universalist side.
easy read
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. What I especially liked was the different psychologies of the Unitarian versus Universalist thought processes. This was explained through their histories, symbolism and the author's conclusion. This book has many insights. There is so much practical information packed in such a small volume. The UU denomination embraces many theological views and practices. But we have a problem spreading our message. This book has an answer.
We studied this book for 4 months in a small spiritual studies weekly group at a UU Church. The book interesting and sometimes startlingly accurate and specific. The author wisely funnels down from a perspective of history and geography to social changes in Eastern U.S. churches over the last 200 years. With that background the author compares and contrasts Unitarians and Universalists in terms of temperament, development, social background and finally theology. The strong foundation laid by explaining the background of the churches adds a lot of credence and credibility to the author's theological conclusions. There is no doubt the author knows exactly what he is talking about and does an excellent job of concluding why Universalism has more potential than Unitarianism for helping most people find a religion that works because people tire of Unitarian character elevation. The book has a strong core. The author taught math and science and has a Harvard Masters in Divinity. My favorite question from this book is: Why is Unitarian Universalism to weird for most people? Answer: UU language is primarily non-Biblical, and most Americans are not used to that, and find the words strange.
love it
