“A Radical Resistance”

“A Radical Resistance”
“A Radical Resistance””— led by the Rev. Charles Loflin.

This would become a foundational text for American UUism and Transcendentalism. How might those concepts apply in our current context to reclaim a legacy of social justice work infused with a theology of radical resistance?
