Liberal religion is a journey. In 1921, L.B. Fisher, the editor of the Universalist newsletter, The Leader, wrote: "Universalists are often asked to tell where they stand. The only true answer to give to this question is that we do not stand, we move... We do not stand still; we do not defend any immoveable positions, theologically speaking, and we are therefore harder to count or to form into imposing numbers. We grow and we march, as all living things forever must do."

Henry Nelson Wieman, the great 20^th-century Unitarian theologian, warned us that for human beings, "there is no prescribed form or limited bounds within which (we) can live with contentment." He defined the directive in history as "the progressive creation of qualitative meaning beyond any known limit."
