Do any Unitarian Universalists consider themselves Christian anymore? Do you know of any?

Some do, yes, but probably not in a traditional way. I am a UU, and I have christians who believe in the divinity of Jesus in my congregation as well as those who do not (like me). I believe in a primitive Christianity in the sense that I believe that Jesus was a very good, holy person, a great prophet & philosopher. I think anyone would be well to emulate Jesus in their personal life. I don't believe he was God, though, and do not believe that there is only one way to God. \n\nAs I understand it, the "traditional" christians in the UU do think Jesus was God incarnate, but also believe, as I do, that there is not only one path to God. There are many religions, and all of them have merit. I do not think that God would be so close minded as to create all the world, then allow only one narrow path to find him. I also do not believe that God would prohibit, say, the Dalai Lama from his presence, just because he did not follow one doctrine or another, as he is a good, holy person.\n\nSo, yes, there are still christian UU's, but probably not too many, and not very traditional, in the strict sense.

Yes I believe in God, but not the way traditional Christians do.  I'm a Gnostic Christian.

That is an essential doctrine of the Christian faith and as such, I would not consider them true Christians.  I hope and pray that they do come to the full realization of God in all His aspects.  Blessings.

The first question is ill-posed, for not every religion has a concept of salvation.  As far as I understand it, salvation is meaningless in Buddhism, which does not conceive of a God/Judge Who either saves or condemns its creatures.\n\nAs for your second question: Unitarian Universalism eschews speaking about God, and it embraces both people who believe in His/Her existence and people who do not.  Unitarian Universalists who may believe in an afterlife would certainly say that you don't have to follow their doctrine to be saved, if salvation has any meaning to begin with.

I do, but it is hard to find in politics.  I do look for Christians, but just because they say they are Christians, it doesn't necessarily mean they are.  So I try to see if they ACT like Christians.  It is one thing to talk the talk, but they also have to walk the walk, publicly and privately.

I felt bad that no one was responding to you in a positive light, so I did a Yahoo search on it.  I am sending you the link to the Search Results on christian humanism.\n\nYes, when I was a Unitarian-Universalist years ago, I did hear of christian humanism.  Many Humanists may deny that christianity and humanism can be compatible, but to heck with what they think.  :-)  If you and others can juggle the two and combine these two, then more power to you!  :-)

Find a Universalist Unitarian Fellowship. They have a group that is affiliated with them called CUUPs (Covenant of the Universalist Unitarian Pagans). This is usually a group of people who follow various paths that get together to observe and celebrate the Sabbats and Esbats. Also, go hang out at any metaphysical stores you can find. Let the shop owner/s know you are looking for a teacher.

I would rate Glasgow and Edinburgh Universities the highest.  They are not Christian Universities as such but they both have very active Student unions.  Before you go to university contact the UCCF at www.uccf.org.uk  and they will put you in contact with Christians at that university.

We Jehovah's Witnesses do not discredit all Christian Faiths, they discredit themselves. \n\nIf you compare their teachings and their behavior and practices against the light of the Bible you will see the CLEAR DIFFERENCE between a real christian and a false one.\n\nTrue Christians Then and Now\n\nChristians of the first century at times had different opinions about things. For example, speaking of those in Corinth, the apostle Paul said: "Disclosure was made to me about you, my brothers, by those of the house of Chloe, that dissensions exist among you. What I mean is this, that each one of you says: 'I belong to Paul,' 'But I to Apollos,' 'But I to Cephas,' 'But I to Christ.'"—1 Corinthians 1:11, 12.\n\nDid Paul view these differences as of little significance? Was each individual simply following his own path to salvation? Far from it! Paul admonished: "I exhort you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you should all speak in agreement, and that there should not be divisions among you, but that you may be fitly united in the same mind and in the same line of thought."—1 Corinthians 1:10.\n\nOf course, unity of belief cannot be achieved by coercion. It is achieved only when individuals carefully investigate matters and arrive at and accept the same conclusions. Thus, a personal study of God's Word and an honest desire to apply what is learned are essential steps to enjoy the kind of unity that Paul spoke of. Can such unity be found? As we have seen, God has long dealt with his people as a group. Is it possible to identify that group today?\n\nIf you want to know more view the article below.\n\nIF you want answers you have to seek them with an open mind and heart, and not for argument sake.

NO there are many many-- they are organized but not that well. I know of two who like in Gullipulli who have as little as possible to do with the others. They are now TRUE Christians.\n\nThey do other things now!!!! See below for all info.

This is true only if you look at certain religions. Unitarians and Universalists are particularly high in members who are more highly educated.\n\nWilliam S. Ament, 1927\nC. C. Little, president of the University of Michigan, checked persons listed in Who's Who in America: "Unitarians, Episcopalians, Congregationalists, Universalists, and Presbyterians [who are less religious] are… far more numerous in Who's Who than would be expected on the basis of the population which they form. Baptists, Methodists, and Catholics are distinctly less numerous."\n\nAment confirmed Little's conclusion. He noted that Unitarians, the least religious, were more than 40 times as numerous in Who's Who as in the U.S. population. (Although I will dispute his contention that Unitarians are not religious)\n\nLehman and Witty, 1931\nUnitarians were 81.4 times as numerous among eminent scientists as non-Unitarians.\n\n\nNot surprisingly, the more liberal religions tend to attract the most highly educated and achieving people, particularly scientifically.\n\nConservative religions tend to attract a lower achieving and less academic persons.

No, I see people as individuals. I was lucky enough to find people of other worldviews that did the same for me when I was a Christian.

They are both liberal churches. They both attract liberal thinkers. The basic difference is that Unity is a Christian church and UU's are not. We get quite a bit of cross-over here in California; people quit Unity to become Unitarian Universalists, and vice versa.\n\nUU's in the East are more conservative than UU's in the west.\n\nUU's don't believe in the Holy Trinity, Salvation by Grace or some other things that Christians believe in. Most of us don't believe Jesus was the Son of God. Most Unity members do.\n\nPeople confuse us all the time. Our (UU) church even has a link to the local Unity church on our web site, for people who were looking for them.\n\nWhile I'm at it, Universal Life is the church that ordains people instantly (99% of all UU Ministers have a Bachelor's degree and a Masters of Divinity before they are ordained. The M.Div. takes 4 years.)\n\nThe Unification Church is the "Moonies". They were one of the famous cults of the late 1960's and early 1970's. UU's have nothing to do with Unification or Universal Life, save for the similarity in names.\n\nhttp://www.stanuu.org/beliefs.html\nmay be easier to understand that the P&P in the third answer.
