Thank you all for the interest you have expressed in the history of Unitarian Universalism since the end of World War 2. It’s an exciting story, and while some parts are difficult to hear, on the whole it is kind of inspiring.

I thought that I would pass along the information for two of the books that informed me about the social and economic trends that shaped UUism in the 40’s and 50’s.

The next time I preach, I will be talking about UUism in the 1960’s. I would recommend three books to read in preparation, if you so inclined.  All are available at the UUA Bookstore online.
