“Why Pick a Church, from ‘Challenge of a Liberal Faith,’ ” by George N. Marshall

George N. Marshall’s book, “Challenge of a Liberal Faith” was written over 50 years ago, less than a decade after the merger of the UU faith. Yet, many of the challenges which faced spiritually seeking, socially liberal people then are also here today.

The trappings and failings of organized religion are becoming more and more apparent, but Marshall proposes that we are a religion, with deep roots, that challenges the institution and attracts those who want to have a do-it-yourself religion, to “do your own thing,” and to attract the anti-institutionalist in our midst.

George N. Marshall was a Unitarian Universalist writer throughout the 1950 to 1980s. His publications include “Challenge of a Liberal Faith”, “Buddha, the quest for serenity: A biography”, and “The Church of the Pilgrim Fathers”
