Are there any Christian Unitarian Universalists?
Hello. Are there any Christian Unitarian Universalists? I understand that there are Pagan Unitarian Universalists and that many UUs are Atheists and Agnostics so I was curious about Christians. Thank you for time.
 God Bless, Holly

One of the preachers at the church I attend has a lot of Christanity in him. Awsome guy. But it is a hard call Holly cause being UU means you are neccessarly put neatly in one cateogory or another. In some ways many UU's I know have some Christian in them. For me it's the allegoric equating of Jesus to love and compassion. It depends on how much Christian beliefs you feel are neccessary as a UU to be called a UU Christian. For me I see the relgion as parables and allegories and see merit in its message of love and compassion but in the same breath I reject any of the things in the Bible, espcially the new testiment as being anything other than allegocial including Christ whom I see as an allegory for love.

From my understanding UU has its origins in Christianity. Ba'hai, which has a similar philosophy, has Islamic roots.

Isnt UU in essence a mixture of all religions? This would make Unitarian Universalists buddhists, muslims, jews, catholics, hindus, satanists, etc........on the other hand, a Christian must be only Christian, as their "God" is a jealous one and does not like to share.
