Eldorado

UNIVERSALIST CHURCH

(Unitarian Universalist Association)

 

 

 

The First Universalist Church of Eldorado, founded in 1849, values diversity and freedom of belief and ideas. We affirm the worth of all human beings, regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion or political affiliation. We believe people should be encouraged to think for themselves, and we trust people to build their own faith. Acknowledging that people differ in opinion and life style, we feel these differences should be honored, for each person is the final authority on his or her own life.

 

    

    Universalists affirm:

    

(1)“God is unconditional all-encompassing Love. Being as a Perfect 
    Father, God has the WISDOM and FORESIGHT not to just cruelly and senselessly 
    punish but to purposefully discipline his children to constructively 
    cleanse, correct, and rehabilitate everyone for eternal salvation. It 
    supports God’s purpose to make the wrongdoer into a rightdoer.  

    

(2) We believe in the spiritual leadership of Jesus as well as other 
    great world religious leaders.

    

(3) The union of Reason and Religion is our belief.
     

    



To Universalists, God is universal, all compassionate, unconditional love 
    which compels us to act from the warmth of the spontaneity of a heart of 
    love that moves
us to action. "Love is in your heart not to stay, but to be shared." 


 

    

    Unitarianism extols reason that moves them to consider the possibilities of 
    duty. LOVE is measured by heart, not brains. "Universalism is the most 
    beautiful word in the 
    English Language" -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning, poetess of England
