Lyttle, Charles H(arold) (20th Century)

Lyttle was one of the first Unitarian ministers to use “humanist” in his sermons. He wrote Humanist Sermons (1917) and Emerson’s Self-Reliance (1942) as well as edited The Liberal Gospel (Channing Anthology) in 1925.

Lyttle’s account of the Western Unitarian Conference is Freedom Moves West (1952). In that book, he writes of HUMANIST MANIFESTO I that it “sought to replace despondency and doubt of God’s loving Providence by confidence in the power of human intelligence and co-operative good will to become its own Providence.”
