Distant Relations: A Dramatic Dialogue Between Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson


Revs. Gaye and David Morris will help us to learn more about the unique friendship between two brilliant but willful leaders of the Transcendentalist movement, Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson. They both enjoyed great success as thinkers, writers, and lecturers. An imagined vignette of their friendship, played out in the Emerson home parlor in the 1840s, lays out the challenge of cultivating an inward life of the soul while maintaining a meaningful outward life of relationships and struggles for freedom in society.
