I noticed that my church prefers to call themselves Unitarians since historically that is the church name. However, the church in the next city has no problem utilising 'Unitarian Universalist' in calling themselves. So what? So confusing!
As a Canadian, I feel that although yes, we are the spiritual inheritors of 'Unitarianism' I still feel that such a term holds on to our liberal Christian past: Unitarian Universalism seems more true to our philosophy and who we are as a religion.
However, I have heard that the term 'Unitarian' is used everywhere else in the English world; only in the United States of America, do they use Unitarian Universalism since there were many Universalists there.
Is there really any difference in using 'Unitarian' as opposed to 'Unitarian Universalist'?
Allah'u'Abha! :namaste
