Sophia's Revolution
A child of missionaries, her own spiritual odyssey would transform liberal religious education from rote study into an experience-centered search for truth and meaning. Her lifelong dedication to children’s learning, and to the quest for knowledge from all sources, helped usher an era of rapid and unprecedented growth that was dubbed “The Unitarian Renaissance.” Even today, we at UUSM remain part of the revolution of ideas that Sophia Lyon Fahs instigated—and she still has much to teach us. James Witker, guest speaker. Dr. Susan Hendricks, worship associate. Order of Service: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J1vVY8AUKnU-GIAofWotVXwFXvdzlwX0LkJ7rBaqAMI/edit?usp=sharing
