Rev. Dr. Larry Peers - Sometimes, people assume that Unitarian Universalists aren’t that “spiritual.” This is often because some of the fixed criteria for “spiritual” may elude an understanding of our approach to what would best be called our “spiritualities.”Richard Higgins’s recent book about Henry David Thoreau, “Thoreau’s God,” explores Thoreau’s spirituality in a way that has eluded some previous scholars’ assumptions. Thoreau’s life demonstrates how his social action and a broader spirituality combined in a way that speaks to contemporary seekers. Moreover, Thoreau’s spirituality may resonate with a radically inclusive spirituality that we might not otherwise recognize within us and among us.
