appreciate most within it are the individuals—including some long dead whose response to life’s questions served to open the way for people like me. Among our prophets are Margaret Fuller, the pioneering advocate for women’s rights and Emerson’s friend; William Ellery Channing, the Unitarian minister who inspired both Fuller and Emerson; and John Murray, the founder of American Universalism, and his wife, Judith Sargent Murray. Their transforming experiences tell us much about this first source of our liberal faith.
