Regaining Balance
"Regaining Balance" is a cold shower for the Unitarian Universalist Church.

Former American Humanist Association president Michael Werner pulls no punches in a scathing critique of the leadership of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Once one of America’s most influential Protestant denominations, the UUA has imploded over the past 40 years, shrinking to 0.51% of the population. Why? Werner ticks off the reasons, from a fuzzy obsession with pluralism to a disdain for the Humanist values that drove the UUA’s rise to prominence in the first place. “Follow the money,” Werner urges, as he analyzes one shortsighted policy failure after another. Regaining Balance, though, is ultimately not an obituary for the UUA, but a prescription for recovery. The Unitarian Universalist Association is a proud institution that retains valuable human assets, carefully catalogued by Werner, that can seize the opportunity presented by today’s sea change in religious attitudes if it will get back to its Humanist roots.
