UU History

uu historyThe Unitarian and Universalists roots extend back to early centuries. The American Unitarian Association and the Universalists of America developed along converging paths and merged in 1961.

  • Unitarians believed in the Unity of God - as opposed to the Trinity.
  • Universalists believed in the Love of All.

One humorous characterization of UU after-life beliefs:

  • Unitarians believe they are too good to be damned.
  • Universalists believe that God is too good to damn them.

RVUUF offers formal and informal instruction on the history of Unitarian Universalism. We also have an excellent library for these studies.
