| September 12, 2010 | Rev. Jean m Rowe - What ARE We Doing Here? One of the main founders of American Unitarianism was an original thinker named William Ellery Channing. He was protesting the conservative Protestants of his day, especially the New England Puritans. They proclaimed that human beings are depraved sinners in the hands of an angry God, and the purpose of human life was to endure suffering so that you could go to heaven. Not so,said Channing: a human being is a noble being. A person has a soul which is God's seed with sacred potential. That potential can be developed and expressed. The soul can grow. The point of life is to grow our souls - and we can do it best by coming together to help one another. In fact, that is what churches are for. |
