This
online project of the First Parish and the First Church in
Cambridge (Unitarian Universalist) is based on research concerning
some representative women and men who made significant contributions
to life in the quarter-century 1936-1961. This period runs
from the time of a report, Unitarians Face a New Age,
to the beginning of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
This project
is funded in part by the Fund for Unitarian Universalism and
cosponsoring UU congregations.
Project
advisors are Gloria Korsman, Andover-Harvard Theological Library;
Conrad Edick Wright, Massachusetts Historical Society; and
Conrad Wright, Harvard Divinity School.
