I think the words of James Luther Adams are a great summary, and starting point, for liberal Christians.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10663798316168079940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144051388547159240.post-50980015156493569222014-02-21T11:54:43.018+00:002014-02-21T11:54:43.018+00:00Dear Rob,
Many thanks for taking the time to comm...Dear Rob,<br /><br />Many thanks for taking the time to comment. I have a number of colleagues and friends who find themselves in the kind of liminal place you are experiencing and they, too, are concerned that it is still hard to speak truly and openly. The Unitarian movement is far, far from being perfect - it has its own significant challenges and internal difficulties - but it has provided me, and the members of my own congregation, with a place of genuine openness where our true stories can be told. <br /><br />I certainly wish you well in the future. <br /><br />Oh, and by the way, I went to visit your blog and noticed that you went to Wesley House in Cambridge and, on a picture of the college, you indicate where your old room was. Well, I worked for a number of years for the Woolf Institute which has rented out most of that corridor. Your room, as you know, is now the Theological Federation's library office and so I know it well. As always we find it's a small world!<br /><br />Warmest wishes,<br /><br />AndrewAndrew James Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693417061963197121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144051388547159240.post-17827781371487288112014-02-18T19:31:20.224+00:002014-02-18T19:31:20.224+00:00Andrew, I was really interested to read your story...Andrew, I was really interested to read your story here because your experience is very similar to my own. In my case it brought me into the Methodist ministry. My band on the spectrum of belief is probably occupied by many Unitarians and vanishingly few of my own denomination but I am sure that it ought to be represented. It is an uncomfortable position, though, even within a sidelined retirement.Rob Cromptonhttp://snigsfoot.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
