.Taking up permanent head-quarters with the AUA in Boston, the alliance became a powerfulforce in the denomination.In 1902 a Junior Alliance program foryoung women was established and later a college committee.The al-liance played a major role in extension efforts.In 1900 funds for cir-cuit preachers, social service, and church building resulted in the firstliberal congregation in North Carolina at Shelter Neck.Emily Fifield, the recording secretary for the alliance from 1887 to1913, is especially remembered for a westward campaign in 1900, andseveral churches from the Mississippi to the Pacific owe their existenceto her.In 1926 the name was changed again to the General Alliance ofUnitarian and Other Liberal Christian Women, in order to help localAlliance branches distinguish themselves from the central body.Theearly years of the 20th century saw the remarkable success of summerconferences on Star Island.International interest also began to growand was especially useful during the relief efforts of World War II.Over the years the alliance had active program committees especiallyin the areas of education, service, and extension.By midcentury one oftheir objectives was to put more fully into action the principles of freereligion in their homes, their churches, their communities, and theworld. This had always been true of their efforts.After consolidation 20 " AMERICAN HUMANIST ASSOCIATION (AHA)with the Universalists in 1963, this organization became the UnitarianUniversalist Women s Federation.AMERICAN HUMANIST ASSOCIATION (AHA).The HumanistPress Association (HPA) (1935) was the first organized national as-sociation of humanism in the United States.It grew out of the Hu-manist Fellowship, which had begun gathering in Chicago in 1927.They were the publishers of The New Humanist.Curtis Reese, aleading humanist, was the inspiration for the reorganization and in-corporation of the HPA in 1941 as the American Humanist Associa-tion (AHA).Ever since, this organization has been the major repre-sentative organization of humanism in the United States.For manyyears it was headquartered in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and later SanFrancisco, but since 1978 its offices have been located in Amherst,New York.Its publication is called The Humanist.In The Philosophyof Humanism (New York, 1969) Corliss Lamont wrote that the pur-pose of the AHA is to educate the American people on the meaningof Humanism and to persuade as many of them as possible to adoptthis way of life. The AHA is organized in local chapters.It was amajor player with other humanist groups in an International Congressin 1952, which established the International Humanist and EthicalUnion (IHEU).One of the key leaders of this effort was then execu-tive director, the Rev.Edwin H.Wilson, who remained in that posi-tion for 14 years, was the first editor of The Humanist, and a founderof the Fellowship of Religious Humanists.The AHA has played animportant role in the debate over issues such as prayer in the schoolsand the teaching of creationism.It has also been known for counsel-ing services and rites of passage (weddings and funerals) for peoplewho are uncomfortable with traditional religious ceremonies.TheAHA states that humanism is free of supernaturalism and that it de-rives the goals of life from human need and interest rather than fromtheological or ideological abstractions, and asserts that humanitymust take responsibility for its own destiny.
