Introduction, Workshop 3: Rising Tides – Reason as a Religious Source
In "Faith like a River," a Tapestry of Faith program
Where our treasure is, there our heart be also. And where our heart is there will be our reason and our premises. — James Luther Adams
Throughout history, humans have proclaimed the sources of their religious knowledge as a means to establish a basis of authority for their religious beliefs. The Principles and Sources of the Unitarian Universalist Association include human reason as an important Source of our living tradition. This workshop recounts some historical events and philosophical ideas that shaped the use of reason as a source of religious authority and tracks how this Source became ingrained in Unitarian Universalism.
