This series honors those whose courage and conviction formed the soul of our tradition. They were not perfect, but they were faithful: to truth, to love, and to the possibility of a better world. In honoring these ancestors of faith, we ask: What do we inherit from them? What do we carry forward?We begin with the 4th-century Unitarians who challenged the prevailing Trinitarian view of Jesus, asking whether their bold theological ideas still speak to us today. We move to the 19th-century Transcendentalists, whose vision of the “transient” and the “permanent” in religion continues to offer clarity and guidance. We then honor those in our movement who have defied oppressive systems, reminding us that civil disobedience can be both effective and deeply faithful. Finally, we turn to the humanist voices in our history, exploring what their insights offer for a life of meaning and purpose now.

The Transient and the Permanent
Transcendentalists in the middle of the 19th century changed our religion forever. They pointed to the transient and permanent in religion that can guide our lives today.

Being Ungovernable
From abolition to civil rights, many in our faith have resisted unjust systems. What does faithful civil disobedience look like today?

Are You a Humanist?
Humanism is a foundational thread of our Unitarian Universalist tradition. What do our humanist ancestors have to say to us today about faith and life?
