creatureliness

I would hate to lose that kind of humanism within the Unitarian Universalist movement especially since, from Channing's doctrine of human nature forward to today's UU transhumanists, the willingness to move beyond Christian concepts of "creatureliness" has played an important role in Unitarian and Unitarian Universalist advocacy for cremation, family planning, abortion rights, and euthanasia--all issues condemned in their time by the majority of Christians.

What I need here is solace and reconciliation with the fact of my creatureliness; the courage, honesty and dignity to acknowledge that I am not in control; yet the insight and fullness of soul to see in the enormity of what has happened that I am just as eligible for enormous good as I am for enormous tragedy.
