Unitarian Universalism is also known as the “chosen faith.” We are here because we choose to be here: not because we are threatened with eternal damnation; and not because we were born into this faith and must remain within it for the rest of our days. And there is power in what Unitarian theologian James Luther Adams called the “voluntary association.” In this service, we will learn about Adams’ “conversion” experience in Germany and how modern Unitarian Universalism is founded on his ideas of the voluntary association.
