Our church was the first to call Rev. John H. Dietrich to a Unitarian Pulpit (in 2011) and is where he first began calling himself a Humanist. Dietrich went on to become an original signer of The Humanist Manifesto (1933) and later known as the Father of Religious Humanism. This will be Rev. Eklof’s second in a series of occasional presentations meant to honor Dietrich’s memory and wisdom by updating and re-presenting some of his famous predecessor’s most cherished sermons. In this particular sermon, Dietrich contrasts Christianity’s salvation by atonement with a more humanistic kind of salvation.
