Lincoln was not a Unitarian, but he certainly could have been. He knew a lot about our faith, read many of Theodore Parker’s sermons (and paraphrased him in the Gettysburg Address), and regularly received visits to the White House (known then as the Executive Mansion) from the celebrated Unitarian minister Rev. James Freeman Clark and from Ralph Waldo Emerson.  This message offers a mix of our UU history and heritage but also has a few lessons that may inform our spirituality today.
