Classics in Religion: Ralph Waldo Emerson

Also being held at 1 other time

Ralph Waldo Emerson was America’s pre-eminent philosopher during the 19th century, a native of Concord and representative of American Transcendentalism, although he disowned that acclamation. The group will explore his writings about such public issues as the forced removal of Native American Indians and slavery, and how his position on these issues was informed by his religious beliefs. The group will be led by David Rolfe, a lay leader of the Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship of the Catskills on Sawkill Avenue.
