“Living by Liberal Faith”
with Rev. Jay Atkinson, Anne Jungerman, and Brian Shaw
UU theologian Paul Rasor says that our liberal religious tradition “is not for the faint of heart,” suggesting that Unitarian Universalism offers a challenging pathway not always easy to follow. It’s one thing to call ourselves “liberals” or to profess liberal beliefs, but how do we live by liberal faith in congregational life? What does it mean for us to be deeply faithful Unitarian Universalists in today’s world, and how does strong commitment to congregational mission and covenant help us “keep our eyes on the prize”?
Jay Atkinson retired in 2011 from 32 years of full-time service in Unitarian Universalist parish ministry, most recently twelve years in Studio City (Los Angeles) and, before that, thirteen years in Davis, Calif. During those ministries he also served at various times on the adjunct faculties of our UU seminaries in Chicago (Meadville Lombard Theological School) and Berkeley (Starr King School for the Ministry). Before turning to professional ministry, he did research in nuclear physics for eleven years. Currently he is a Research Scholar at Starr King with a focus on UU history.
