Universalist Herald
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Universalist Heritage and Spirit Today" and "The Oldest Continuously Published Liberal Religious Periodical in North America" are the subtitles of the modern Universalist Herald.
Founded in 1847 as the "Religious Investigator" by C. F. R. Shehane, it was originally intended as a southern focused Universalist newspaper. It was bought by John C. Buruss and then renamed the Universalist Herald in 1850.
It was not published for a few years during the Civil War, and then sold in 1896 to John Bowers.
Most of the 1800s, it was a weekly, switching to bi-weekly by the late 1800s.
Previously published in Montgomery, Alabama; Notasulga, Alabama; Canon, Georgia; Seven Springs, North Carolina it was edited continually in the South up to the 1990s, when editorship went to the Midwest.
Currently it is owned by the Universalist Publishing Company, and is a bi-monthly.
