Ancillary Events - Suspended During PandemicThe Unitarians were considered heretics, but it was the Universalists who really caught if from the orthodox. And with good reason: by removing hell from the religious equation they completely upset the dogmatic applecart, taking away the prime motivator for religiously towing the line. With no fear of hell, the orthodox feared chaos. With no fear of hell, the Universalists opened up a whole new world freedom and joy that transformed religion in the West. And we are their ambassadors today.
