Unitarian Universalist Association

Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), in full the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations in North America, is a liberal religious denomination of Unitarian Universalist congregations formed by the consolidation in 1961 of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church in America. Both of these predecessor organizations were Christian Unitarian and Universalist denominations; but modern Unitarian Universalists define themselves as non-creedal, and therefore they may have not only Christian beliefs or affinities ?they may draw wisdom from other religions and philosophies as well, such as Humanism (with a plurality or majority), Buddhism, Judaism, and Earth-centered spirituality, among others, or different individual combinations of them. Therefore the UUA qualifies as a form of post-Christian liberal religion with syncretistic leanings.
