John Dietrich’s Sermon: “Unitarianism and Freedom of Thought” – As Presented and Amended by Rev. Eklof

Rev. John H. Deitrich, our Spokane congregation’s minister from 1911 to 1916, went on to become known as the Father of Religious Humanism. In his wish to reawaken us to this seminal figure’s relevance today, Rev. Eklof continues his series of occasionally reworking and delivering one of Dietrich’s historic sermons. In this particular sermon, from 1918, Dietrich goes deeply into the unique history of Unitarianism and one of its core values, individual freedom of thought.
