William James Potter from Convinced Quaker to Prophet of Free Religion
Author: Richard Allen Kellaway
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499062826
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
William James Potter’s name is virtually unknown to contemporary Unitarian Universalists, even by many of those who consider themselves scholars of this liberal religious movement. Why forgotten? He was a founder and the mainstay of the Free Religious Association, an organization whose members radically transformed American Unitarianism and had a significant influence on American public life. He was the president of the Index Association and, later, editor of that influential journal of religious and social commentary. Few remember that association or the journal, still fewer, Potter. Coming of humble origins, shy and withdrawn by temperament, he did little to put himself forward. He preferred to let his organizational skills and his brilliant and powerful writings do his talking. In the New Bedford, of his thirty-two year ministry, he was a major public figure, universally respected for his integrity and his commitment to the community, especially to the disadvantaged. He initiated many major programs and organizations. But he shied away from assertive leadership, preferring to initiate and then move on. With his congregation he was awkward in personal relationships, avoided parish calling, and only agreed that he would be available when needed. Respected more than loved! His immortality is in his quiet, but progressive and profound influence.
