Liberalism in religion grew strong in the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, then collapsed. Why, when so many people
hunger for religious expression unhampered by traditionalism?
Duncan Howlett argues that a fatal flaw at the heart of the
movement undercut its progress. The Liberals were unwilling or
unable to hold to their own central principle: the need to maintain
a free and open mind, heart, and spirit in religion.In the end,
Liberalism always fell back on its understanding of the basic
traditions and dogmas of the organised religions. Alert minds drawn
to Liberalism by the prospect of complete freedom of thought in
religion felt betrayed, and many abandoned the movement. Howlett
summons us to a new and self-consistent Liberalism, one that tests
to the uttermost the validity of every belief we hold. True
Liberalism means a continuing quest for ever broader and deeper
concepts of truth. It means allowing no exceptions to the standards
of inquiry that religious Liberals inherited from the Enlightenment
and from science.
