By Mark Harris, Gail Forsyth-Vail, Susan Dana Lawrence
Elite: Uncovering Classism in Unitarian Universalist History (Skinner House Books, 2011), by the Reverend Mark W. Harris, explores historical events and trends that have led Unitarian Universalist congregations to serve primarily upper middle class, educated, professional people. The book traverses the centuries of Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist history in the United States through the lens of these questions: Who are we? What do we believe? Who is welcome to belong with us?
