Historical Unitarianism had some good thinkers. Actually, Unitarianism can include Thoreau and Emerson - in their defense.
But contemporary Unitarianism, places a different emphasize. They don’t require me, to read the original sources. If you go into a Unitarian church, they have some pamphlets - in the lobby. Their minister gives some sermons…usually about social justice and doing good works. And the people are involved, in social programs.
I discovered this, when I hung around them - for a few weeks - in the early 70’s.
Now my friend Art…who’s following an Eastern path…likes going to their church…and he even got some female members, to visit the female Eastern teachers - visiting the area (AKA Amma and Karunamayi).
But…and here is the big but…they do accept everyone, more or less…you could be gay…believe in zombies…follow Eastern gurus…promote UFOs as science…support the Flat Earth Society…etc…as long as you are into social justice.
If this works for my friend Art…and perhaps Dave…I have no issue with that.
However, I do prefer audio and videos - reading the great thinkers. Since I can absorb their ideas, while doing other things.
And I did read through the link at
Of course, these ideas are much different…from those, I subscribe to - in EO/EC theology. But I like to read great western philosophers…and appreciate them…even though I don’t buy into, all their philosophical positions.
P.S. If I wasn’t into traditional Christianity… and I was concerned with social justice and worshiping the one God (AKA non-Trinity)…I would join the Baha’i faith, rather than Unitarianism.
