The Rev. Dr. Forrest Church was a leading Unitarian theologian and minister who wrote many influential books including a popular introduction to Unitarian Universalism, A Chosen Faith (with John Buehrens). Two of his books profoundly influenced Dr. Michael Sullivan, a psychologist, in becoming a UU after moving to Columbia with his wife Susan in 2008. One is Church’s The Cathedral of the World: A Universalist Theology. The other is Love and Death: My Journey through the Valley of the Shadow.
