When Emerson made his heart-stopping Divinity School Address attacking formal religion, Parker (a Unitarian pastor himself) bravely supported him, believing that Christianity was "innate in the soul." Scorned by Orthodox Unitarians, exhausted from his heavy schedule of activism, and suffering from consumption, Parker fought to regain his health in Italy, eventually dying there. |
