The role of religious education/faith development among
Unitarian Universalists marks the uniqueness of this religious
movement. Without dependence on dogma or creed, it is essential
that a religious community be free to develop its own distinctive
identity. The centrality of religious education was evident in the
very beginnings of this liberal denomination. Rev. Richard Gilbert
collects many of the most influential statements of religious
education philosophy in the anthology In the Middle of a
Journey.
From William Ellery Channing's eloquent "Sunday School Address"
to the writings of stalwarts Sophia Lyon Fahs and Angus H. MacLean,
these carefully selected essays trace the evolution of faith
development from a Christian catechism to a broadly based
faith-based quest for values, meanings and convictions.
In an age that tends to belittle the past, it is refreshing to
realize that if we are to chart where we are going, it is wise to
know where we have been. The Unitarian Universalist movement has
been in some interesting places, and eagerly seeks an adventurous
future.
