SynopsisThe in-depth congregational history from the formation of the Unitarian Universalist Nashville congregation in the 1940s to 2015, also includes the history of the Unitarian and Universalist start-ups in the Middle Tennessee area since the 1840s. The 334-page book includes over 100 illustrations. FUUN's story is a microcosm of societal forces at large, especially that of human rights. It also is a case study in church growth. Topical sidebars sprinkled throughout include "Hymnals" and "Church Quilts" and "The Ghostly Organ." A thorough Appendix and Bibliography round out the volume. "This book is a must read for congregational leaders of any faith community with a history of clergy misconduct that will lead to better understanding on how to become stronger and better focused on mission." - James C.
