The Free Church in a Changing World

Sermon Series
Rochester

Preface

The Study Commissions appointed by Unitarian Universalist Association presented their Final Reports, “The Free Church in a Changing World,” to the General Assembly of the U.U.A in May, 1963. Paperbound copies are available on order from the Universalist Bookstore (Suzanne McNamara, HO 7-5224) at 90 cents a copy. You may wish to order now in order that you may have a copy for reference and comment.

Believing that these reports represented an important examination of the faith and order of Universalist, Unitarian churches and fellowships, a number of sermons were given dealing with beliefs commonly shared, policies usually followed, characteristic and changing worship forms and actions believed to be vital to our faith.

Although the commission reports were the inspiration and motivation for this series, the effort was neither strongly critical nor wholly laudatory. The objective was to share the ideas that stir wide-spread affirmation, as well as considerable disagreement among us; and to communicate not only commentary but also conviction.
