Doc Kinne reviewed Regaining balance by Michael Werner (Voices of diversity)
Review of 'Regaining balance' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The book was a very strong position paper on the current situation not only with Unitarian Universalism & liberal religion, but for the future of religion in general in the United States. Taking religion on a reality-based perspective and treating it as it should be treated in this culture - a brand seeking customers - Werner goes through how the UUs can use their abandoned Humanist base to get ahead of the curve with regard to the upcoming religious demographics of the country. It will take courage, leaving the current Devil they know, & jumping off a cliff. Werner leaves it as an open question as to the success or even survival of the UUA.
