Ralph Waldo Emerson
was a Unitarian minister who was never welcomed into the mainstream of his clergy colleagues. Shut out in his time, but for a hundred years his independence and individualism propelled him to be our hero as a rebel and transformative transcendentalist. But does his message serve us today? Could his message hold us back from building a beloved community?
