Description: A Gadfly Report: Examining Unitarian Universalism's Reactionary Fringe [Paperback] McCarty, Dennis Product Overview SECOND EDITION—REVISED AND UPDATED FOR 2024Within the Unitarian Universalist religious tradition, a small number of reactionaries, who sometimes refer to themselves as “Gadflies,” have acted in concert to disrupt conferences, divide congregations, and end ministries. Their propaganda and rear-guard opposition to diversity and progress have become the face of racial and gender intolerance within Unitarian Universalism.In 2023, Rev. Dennis McCarty examined Gadfly rhetoric and many of their writings, applying actual facts, logic, and extensive theological and historical research. Now he has rewritten and updated this important work in preparation for crucial voting at the Unitarian Universalist Association’s 2024 General Assembly.This incisive work provides an illuminating deep dive into the Gadfly movement’s logical fallacies, misstatements of fact, and false accusations. For this edition, McCarty has added new information on Gadfly rhetorical strategies, including FUD, DARVO, and what is called “undermining propaganda.” In addition, exploration of what is called “epistemic injustice” provides extra insight for intersectional growth toward the Beloved Community.This brilliant and essential work of theology and evolving history is now more timely and useful than ever. We can better understand the religious strands that brought Unitarian Universalism to where it is today. We can better recognize the disruptive voices who seek to prevent Unitarian Universalists from advancing “justice, equity, and compassion” into the second quarter of the twenty-first century.WITH A FOREWORD BY REV.
