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 will continue his series of occasionally reworking and delivering one of Dietrich’s historic sermons. In this particular sermon, given in 1926, Dietrich responds to a series of sermons given by a Christian minister berating Unitarianism. Given how much Unitarianism has changed since being consolidated by the Unitarian Universalist Association, it will be interesting to learn his understanding of what it was about an entire century ago.
