Unitarian Universalism is a big tent, lots of people “recovering” from other faiths. And UUs also support gay rights and many congregations are designated “Welcoming” congregations if they have done specific things to encourage GLBT participation in church life. The UUs have many ordained female clergy, as well. Just FYI.</p> Unitarian Universalists as a denomination are not “Christian” although some congregations lean more Christian than others. “Unitarian” means that UUs believe in a single god (not necessarily a specific god) so for the most part do not believe in the divinity of Jesus.
