James Luther Adams, a Greenfield Group founder, was the leading 20th century Unitarian theologian and a skillful proponent and defender of religious and political liberalism. A major American social ethicist, he combined a concern for the Christian tradition with openness to the social sciences and active involvement in religious and secular associations.

Due to the lenght of his biographical references, the following links are offered so that our readers may understand the breadth of Adam's intellect, writings, institutionalism, and his influence.

WHAT MAKES A PERSON A SAINT? The description is found in Article 2 of our Disciplines:

 All founding members of Greenfield Group are “saints” which confers upon them all the privileges but none of the obligations of membership. In addition, the Group may vote to confer the status of Saint upon any member who has been retired from the Group for a least one convocation. Sainthood is meant to reflect our high esteem for the retired member due to service in the Greenfield Group and the longevity of the membership of the retired member.
