Universalism refers to religious, theological, and philosophical concepts with universal ("applying to all") application or applicability. It is a term used to identify particular doctrines considering all people in their formation. In religion and theology, "universalism" is a principle that asserts that all people are under the consideration and love of God, and that theological concepts (doctrines) which conform to this concept are in fact more in accord with the divine concepts.

A church or community that calls itself Universalist may emphasize the universal principles of most religions and accept other religions in an inclusive manner, believing in a universal reconciliation between humanity and the divine. For example monotheistic religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam still claim a universal value of their doctrine and moral principles because they feel they are inclusive.

A belief in one common truth is also another important tenet. The living truth is seen as more far-reaching than national, cultural, or religious boundaries.

Is there a way to convert to Unitarian Christianity?? NOT unitarian universalism per se?
Q. are there any set of rituals or is it just like in the UU church where you simply become a member?
Asked by Jessica S. - Tue Sep 16 16:36:24 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Why do people need to be part of a group of fellow believers and label themselves? Just love your neighbour as yourself. It's that simple. If you do that, you will not kill him, steal from him, covet his wife, bear him false witness...you've got all the 10 commandments covered.
