The Unitarian Universalist church I attend will be holding a holiday art fair early next month. Various painters, sculptors, and craftspeople will be displaying and selling their wares. The artists will each give a cut of their proceeds to the church.
One member of the congregation has noted that while many Christian homes contain framed posters or hangings that feature Bible passages, few Unitarians’ residence walls reveal such proclamations of spirituality. She has thus decided to collect some quotes that might appeal to her fellow congregants, and to subsequently create objets d’art centered around these statements.
Although I’m certainly capable of compiling such a list myself, I thought I’d turn to the collective wisdom of the SDMB for suggestions. While the freethinking nature of Unitarianism, Universalism, and the merged UU denomination has created some controversy over just which historic personages can be included in the fold, this list provides a pretty good selection of names. However, quotes about the faith (can be humorous, but should be respectful) can come from adherents of any (or no) religious tradition.
