Hayward, John F. Through the Rose Window; Art, Myth and the Religious Imagination. Boston, Skinner House, 2002. 174p.
"This is the fruit of a lifetime of reflection on the importance of imagination in religion. Thought-provoking, yet written in readable and beautiful language, these reflections are themselves works of art. Hayward explores the value of myths as models of transcendence and clarifies how these myths are still present in our secular, scientific and technological culture. Although deeply religious, Hayward is not heavy-handed. He acknowledges his doubts along with his convictions, and speaks of the divine only with reticence and a sense of the inadequacy of all words. I wish I had had this book when I was a preacher." - Jerome Stone,

Martin Luther King appealed to clergy across the nation to come to Selma, Alabama, and join protestors in their struggle for voting rights. In all, more than 200 Unitarian Universalists responded, including about one-fifth of all Unitarian Universalist ministers. Reverend Richard Leonard, age 37, was Minister of education at the Community Church of New York at the time he answered Dr. King's call. Leonard's journal, along with the recollections of others who shared the journey, presents Selma as a pivotal point in the advancement of civil rights, and a defining moment for Unitarian Universalism
