Universalism, the "other U." What does it mean to you? Do you resonate with Universalism, or not? What about the Universalist perspective challenges or comforts you? This is what I've been thinking about lately, and I'll post on it over at Earthbound Spirit in a day or two.
But now The Salon is open! Leave a comment if you blog about this question & LE or I will add it to the post!

Wait, what was the first U that's supposed to be so normative?
ReplyDeleteI think a new meaning from the original should be adopted. A religion that can apply universally to everyone.
ReplyDeleteScott - Not necessarily normative, but the first U = Unitarian, which is how I hear many UUs refer to themselves. I've done it myself: "I'm a Unitarian" rather than "I'm a Unitarian Universalist," because it's shorter.

ReplyDeleteI refer to myself as a Universalist because that's what I am. Questions like this sideline the tradition, or worse, make it available for salvage -- to be whatever anyone wants. That's not respectful.

ReplyDeleteI don't think Dan was responding to UU Salon. Donald seems to be, so I'm adding his.
