Rev. Egbert Ethelred Brown, who founded the Harlem Unitarian Church in 1920, chose the Unitarian tradition because “no other church grants its minister the freedom to be absolutely loyal to Truth but the Unitarian Church.” For him, ministry meant honesty and freedom to share new insights as they came.

As we mark 200 years since the founding of the American Unitarian Association, Brown’s words still remind us that a free pulpit in a free church is a legacy worth protecting.

**Edited to add: We want to thank faithful UU's and colleagues who lifted up that this quote elides the fact that Rev. Egbert Ethelred Brown's ministry is not just a source of inspiration for our theology, but a sharply drawn example of supremacy systems at work in our faith tradition. If Rev. Brown was faithful to Unitarianism, Unitarianism was certainly not always faithful to him. We want to invite everyone to read not only the quote, but the underlying text, which is a much longer excerpt of Rev. Brown's writing, paired with a contextual introduction from Rev. Dr. Mark Morrison-Reed. It is linked in the original post. We will provide an extended quote from that introduction below, but the fullest expression of this challenging story and institutional failure can be found in Rev. Dr. Morrison-Reed's essential book, "Black Pioneers in a White Denomination," currently in it's third edition with Skinner House books: https://uuabookstore.org/products/black-pioneers-in-a-white-denomination

Here is an excerpt from Rev. Dr. Morrison-Reed's introduction and contextualization: "In 1912, after two years of preparation at Meadville Theological School [Rev. Brown] returned to Jamaica, but when the American Unitarian Association withdrew support for the mission he began anew in New York during the Harlem Renaissance... In Harlem he served as chair of the Jamaican Benevolent Association, president of the Jamaican Progressive League and vice president of the Federation of Jamaican Organizations. Notwithstanding, his relationship to the AUA was contentious from the beginning. AUA officials discouraged him from attending Meadville, then in 1929 withdrew his fellowship, refusing to reinstate it in 1931 when petitioned by a group, only to reverse course in 1935 under threat of a lawsuit."
