Self-Guided Tour

With apologies to Ken Blanchard (author of the hugely successful management book, The One-Minute Manager), here is a list of important contributors to the Unitarian and Universalist tradition which we have inherited. It can be read aloud (without dates) in one minute but can serve as a study guide for years.

Good places to start your self guided tour:
