More than three years ago, I wrote about a Unitarian effort about 110 years past for the creation of “lay centers” that in many ways anticipated the post-WWII Fellowship Movement. (This was itself called for ten years prior.)
There’s little said about this episode, and little evidence of it apart from a few articles and a small worship guide. I intended to say more about the book — famous last words — but it is fragile and rare enough that I did not want to subject it to a flatbed scanner.
So I’ll pick up where I left off, and using my phone camera hope to find some efficiencies in bringing the contents of this book to light.
In the meantime, review those past articles:
- A hymnal from Fellowship Movement prehistory (April 3, 2014)
- Inside the Lay Centers service book (April 4, 2014)
- List of hymns in the League of Lay Centers hymnal (April 5, 2014)
- “A Hundred Unitarian Sunday Circles” (1895) (April 6, 2014)
