In doing so, he often locked horns with the religious right, notably over discrimination against gays and the mistaken notion that the United States is a “Christian nation”. He wrote or edited over 25 books, from theology to pastoral meditations to histories, while building has own church, All Souls, into a congregation committed to social justice. Being Alive and Having to Die chronicles his journey from rebellious son of a U.S. Senator to eloquent spokesman on a national stage.<br><br>Raised by a powerful, secular father, what attracted Church to liberal ministry? Given his many health problems and early death at 62, where did he find the stamina to write and minister? What is his lasting legacy to the Unitarian Universalist movement?<br><br>Dan Cryer has been a finalist for the Pultizer Prize in criticism, vice president of the National Book Critics Circle, and winner of the Front Page Award for Excellence in Journalism. He has contributed book reviews to a range of major newspapers and magazines, including The New Republic, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, the Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle and Newsday. He is a longtime member of the Unitarian Church of All Souls.<br><br>Cambridge Forum is recorded and edited for public radio broadcast.
