De: James Kubal-Komoto

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

This book is for the growing number of people who are disillusioned with traditional religion but still yearn for an experience of spirituality and religion that traverses a middle ground between the rigidity of religious orthodoxy and the emptiness of a completely secular culture. Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religious path that winds its way through that middle ground.

But Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religious tradition that can be difficult to clearly understand and explain, sometimes seeming like only a hodge-podge of beliefs and values. Even longtime Unitarian Universalists sometimes have a hard time knowing how to talk about their shared beliefs and values, especially with newcomers.

In this book, the Rev. Dr. James Kubal-Komoto, a minister with more than 23 years of experience serving Unitarian Universalist congregations, introduces readers to commonly shared Unitarian Universalist beliefs and values in a way that is clear, coherent, distinctive, and religious while sharing stories from his own spiritual journey.

This book contains 16 short, readable chapters divided into four parts: "How to Believe," "How to Live," "How to be Transformed," and "How to Be Together." Each part includes a list of questions for reflection and discussion. Ideal for newcomers to Unitarian Universalism or long-time Unitarian Universalists who want to be able to better understand and talk about their own tradition, this book can easily be read by individuals or used for a multi-session class within a congregation.
