Clinton Lee Scott
Clinton Lee Scott (September 28, 1887-September 28, 1985) was an American Universalist minister and outspoken pacifist.[1]
From 1914 to 1946, he served Universalist churches in Northfield, Vermont; Buffalo, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Los Angeles, California; Atlanta, Georgia; Peoria, Illinois; Dayton, Ohio; El Dorado, Ohio and Gloucester, Massachusetts. He was a State Convention Superintendent in Massachusetts and Connecticut, returning to parish work in 1956, serving in Tarpon Springs, Florida, until retiring at age 84.[1]
His 1946 book, Parish Parables is still available as an ebook.[2] His theology evolved from liberal Christian, to Christian humanist, to global humanist.[1] As the first prominent Universalist to embrace humanism,[1] he signed the Humanist Manifesto I[3] in 1933 and Humanist Manifesto II[4] in 1973.
