Growing Up Absorbed Religious Education among Unitarian Universalists Spiritual Osmosis How do you teach a child faith without dogma? This is the central question of Richard S. Gilbert's insightful book. For Unitarian Universalists (UUs), who prioritize the search for truth over adherence to a specific creed, "Sunday School" looks very different than it does in other traditions. Gilbert, a retired minister and respected figure in the UU movement, argues that liberal religious education isn't about memorizing rules; it's about "spiritual osmosis." It is a process where children absorb values, justice, and community spirit through the very act of growing up in a congregation. "There are no shortcuts in this spiritual pilgrimage... What happens is what Gilbert calls 'spiritual osmosis,' absorbing what the world has to teach us." Using Walt Whitman's poem "A Child Went Forth" as a metaphor, Gilbert traces the history of religious education in the Universalist tradition and offers wisdom on how to nurture a child's soul in the 21st century. This is a must-have for UU educators, parents, or anyone interested in the history of liberal religion. Condition: Very Good A well-preserved copy. Exterior: Cover has some minor shelf wear.
