(21)Unitarian Universalist Church

 The Unitarian Church was formed in Baltimore, Maryland in 1825. Later in 1953 the Unitarian Church merged with the 
Universalist Church since there was very little 
difference in their liberal doctrines. They also reject 
the Bible as the infallible exclusive word of God. 

 They do not regard Jesus as the Son of God who came 
to the earth to die for man’s salvation. 
They regard Jesus as one and perhaps the greatest 
of the prophets to the human race but they also 
revere Moses, Buddha, Confucius, and Mohammed 
as the world’s other supreme religious leaders. 

They do not believe in the resurrection of the body, 
a Heaven, a Hell, or any kind of eternal punishment. 
They do have ceremonies of dedication of their 
children but they do not believe in the necessity of 
baptism for the forgiveness of sin. 

To join their church all you have to do is sign a card 
indicating your wishes to join. They believe that man 
evolved up from the lower animals. In May 1963 they 
passed an overwhelming resolution in support of abortion. 
They are a very, very liberal, denomination.
  
showing what they falsely teach and 
practice concerning salvation.

Unitarian Universalism is a theologically diverse religion in which members supportone another in our individual search for truth and meaning. We have historic roots in theJewish and Christian traditions, but today individual Unitarian Universalists may identifywith Atheism, Agnosticism, Buddhism, Humanism, Paganism, or with otherphilosophical or religious traditions. Interfaith families often find that UnitarianUniversalist congregations are a good fit for them. 

Our members hold wide-ranging opinions on topics like the afterlife, God, andscripture. What unites us is our acceptance of diverse spiritualities and our commitmentto making the world 
a better place for everyone.

Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Community 
Unitarian Universalist congregations extend a warm welcome to lesbian, gay,bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and their families. We are a caring, open-minded faith community that encourages you to seek your own spiritual path. 

Unitarian Universalism is one of the few religions that ordains openly bisexual, gay,lesbian, and transgender people. Our LGBT clergy (who are permitted to partner ormarry) participate fully in our faith community as pastors in some of our larges congregation.
