Hosea Ballou: Heretic, Christian Mystic, Something Other?

Hosea Ballou is understood to be the founder of American Universalism. Charismatic Ballou was an inspired speaker, worthy of all the accolades for bringing Universalism to the powerful movement it was in the 19th century. Loved by so many, Ballou is still known as a heresiarch, preacher of deception to the detriment not only of his own salvation but that of all who followed him.

A closer look at his story will feel familiar; a boy raised to accept without question yet dares to question anyway.

The history of Unitarian Universalism originates in Europe and dates back many hundreds of years and features generations of people who stood for human rights, equality, and social justice. The founders were doubters, thinkers, and people for whom integrity counted for something. It also features generations of people who seem first to lose their religion, and then, by means of private struggle and personal risk find new meaning in religion. Join us for a service on the history of Unitarian Universalism and how it fits in today’s world.
