The First Fifty Years: Shining on the Emerald Coast

The First Fifty Years: Shining on the Emerald Coast is the story of one small congregation in the Panhandle of Florida, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Emerald Coast (the UUFEC). In it is a short introduction to Unitarian Universalism and its place in the deep South, but the book's main emphasis is on those whose contributions and personalities made this particular fellowship what it is today. More than anything, these pages are a tribute to all those whose visions created the Fellowship, whose lives and thoughts became part of its common spiritual growth, and who left their tears and laughter imprinted on its walls. This is the story of how one congregation was shaped.
