What Are We Not Seeing?

As part of First Parish of Cambridge’s commitment to reckoning with our Unitarian history, this Sunday we consider the life and legacy of Elizabeth Cabot Cary Agassiz—Cambridge Unitarian and founder of the women’s educational institution that would later become Radcliffe College, as well as wife and close collaborator of Louis Agassiz, biologist and geologist whose approach to teaching revolutionized the study of natural history and whose scholarship simultaneously advanced theories in support of scientific racism. How do we practice a posture of spiritual humility when it comes to ancestral reconciliation? And, what is it in our work, that we are not seeing?
