I'm pretty new to UU, but I've been reading alot about your history. Something clicked for me, and I honestly found the idea rather amusing. My thoughts on this are all positive and lighthearted, I just think it's interesting.

Unitarian Universalism started as the merger of two liberal Christian groups, the Unitarians and the Universalists. Well, the Unitarians believed in a more strict Monotheism, whereas the Universalists believed in Universal salvation.

Here's what's interesting to me. UU has evolved and changed. A lot. Beliefs from no Gods to many Gods are welcome in UU as any other, so long as your shared values are respected.

On the one hand, I think UU values still preclude the possibility if Eternal Damnation. Surely, such a belief goes against beliefs about the worth and dignity of every person, love, and justice. Yet, at the same time, there is nothing I can see stopping someone from believing in the Holy Trinity!

Maybe y'all already had this thought, and I'm just now figuring out something obvious. But it makes me smile. Do you know any UU Trinitarians? I just find the idea kind of sweet, in a weird way.

Thank you for indulging this silly post. The thought just made me smile for some reason.

Hi there! I'm currently exploring Unitarian Universalism, with an eye to eventually join a congregation. I'm looking for books written within the (I know very wide) Unitarian Universalist perspective. Far I've read Unitarian Universalism: A Narrative History by David Bumbaugh. Gonna slowly work my way through A Chosen Faith by John Buehrens. I'm curious about good books to read written within the UU tradition in more specific areas. Any answers will be appreciated!
