The culmination of the spiritual thought of a preeminent liberal theologian On September 24, 2009, Forrest Church succumbed to a three-year battle against esophageal cancer. As his final gift, the beloved minister and acclaimed author wrote one last book, leaving behind a clear statement of his universalist theology and liberal faith.The Cathedral of the Worlddraws from the entire span of Churchrs"s lifers"s work, recasting public addresses and adapted book chapters, articles, and several previously unpublished pieces into a single argument. Givingnewvoice to the power of liberal religion, Church invites all seekers to enter the Cathedral of the World, home to many windows but only one Light.
