Comments on: Theists and humanists in the same house http://boyinthebands.com/archives/theists-and-humanists-in-the-same-house/ Scott Wells on the practice of Christian faith Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:37:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Hank http://boyinthebands.com/archives/theists-and-humanists-in-the-same-house/#comment-47503 Hank Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:26:36 +0000 http://boyinthebands.com/?p=2526#comment-47503 When I preached on Humanism earlier this year, as part of a series on theological influences of our faith. I think the moment that had the most impact was when I pointed out that Humanism is not the evolutionary end of Unitarian Universalist theology. Folks told me that it was an ah-ha moment for them because of course Humanism is where many of them have ended up on their spiritual journeys. And they had just made the assumption that everyone else would end up at the same conclusion as they had. It was nice to see folks understanding of other's beliefs change right in front of me.
