Join us for a presentation about Reverend Charles F. Dole by Paul T. Burlin who has recently completed a new book Charles F. Dole, Liberal Theology and Reform: A Life Well-Lived.  

Charles Fletcher Dole was a long-time Jamaica Plain resident (he lived at 14 Roanoke Street on Sumner Hill) and minister of the First Church in Jamaica Plain Dole was born in 1845 and died in 1927. Dole was raised in an “ultra-orthodox” religious family in rural Maine but moved to the radical wing of Unitarian theology. He served the First Congregational Society of Jamaica Plain - Unitarian for forty years from 1876-1916. His theology served as the rationale for his engagement with a wide range of contested issues including temperance, race, gender, imperialism, and war. Dole authored over thirty books including textbooks used in many high school civics and economics courses. Burlin’s new book is dedicated to recovering and analyzing Dole’s extraordinary life.

Paul T. Burlin is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of New England.

This event is co-sponsored by the JP Historical Society and the First Church in Jamaica Plain Unitarian Universalist (the congregation Rev Dole served). It is free and open to the public and light refreshments will be served. This event will by in a hybrid format - you can attend in person or via Zoom.
