This is the story of one Unitarian Universalist congregation founded in 1833 and housed in a magnificent building which was designed by Minard Lafever and completed in 1844. It is a tale of scandals and sorrows, of the rough Brooklyn waterfront intertwined with the elevated airs of affluent Brooklyn Heights, and sharp theological differences that, at one time, rendered the church into four congregations. This book is for historians and lovers of the borough of Brooklyn. Containing over 50 photographs, it is a thoroughly documented, extensively researched view of a major metropolitan church and its times. For those familiar with the church and its neighborhood, Brooklyn Heights, it is an inexhaustible scrapbook, a complete compendium of those thousands of lives that have been touched by this center of Unitarian Universalism in Brooklyn....

"Although Unitarianism, with its rejection of the deity of the Son and the Holy Ghost, is an ancient tradition, churches professing it were quite new in America when ten displaced New Englanders met in 1833 to found the First Unitarian Church in Brooklyn."...

The founding generation certainly understood that the colonists of an empire could and would be treated as tax slaves or cannon fodder. This was the history of the Old World, and they had fought a revolution to escape such a fate. But the “nationalists,” led by men like Hamilton and centered in New York and New England, also understood that life could be quite grand for those who managed and ruled over an empire. That’s why his party—the Federalists—fought so hard and long for a much more powerful, consolidated, monopolistic government and for mercantilist economic policies. It should be made clear early on that the Federalists won many of the essential debates and the expanding American Empire is a direct result of the Federalists contributions to the US Constitution. As an example, it’s said that the framers believed in a living constitution, because they made explicit provisions for amending the Constitution of 1787. Yet most countries don’t straitjacket their operations with a single rigid document that can never be changed except through an onerous, time-consuming and ill-conceived amendment process that’s almost never succe...
