You possess only a small light, but uncover it, let it shine, use it in order to bring more light and understanding to the hearts and minds of men and women. Give them, not hell, but hope and courage."

Rev. John Murray, Early American Universalist

Association of Unity Churches Devoted to practical Christianity, Unity emphasizes that God is good and that God's will for humankind is good. As children of God, we are heirs to all that God is and all that God provides. Unity teaches that God is present in every person, and through prayer and meditation, we can experience God's presence in our lives and circumstances.

    Plough Online The basis of our communal life in the Bruderhof is Christ's teachings in the Sermon on the Mount and throughout the New Testament, especially those concerning brotherly love and love of enemies, mutual service, nonviolence and the refusal to bear arms, sexual purity, and faithfulness in marriage.

    The Real Jesus? Jesus in Archaeology and History. "During the time of the biblical Jesus, there was widespread expectation amongst the Jews that a kingly Messiah, descended from the house of King David, would arise and establish God's kingdom on earth. To Christians today, Jesus is the living fulfillment of the Old Testament prophesies. To others, however, he was merely one of a number of false claimants to the throne, a figure whose testament is heavily colored by myth and church dogma. Is it possible, through historical research, to travel back two thousand years and get a glimpse of Jesus the man? Or, like Paul's vision on the road to Damascus, can the real Jesus be only known through faith?"

    Sea of Faith Network "Exploring and Promoting Religious Faith as a Human Creation. The Network explores the implications of accepting religion as a human creation; promotes this view of religion, and affirms the continuing validity of religious thought and practice as celebrations of spiritual and social values. The Network has no creed. It welcomes people from all faith and non-faith traditions."

    Tentmaker Online "It seems natural for man to always think the worst of others. When the gossip flies it is usually the worst story about an individual that sticks. This has certainly been true about the God of Christianity. While declaring that He is Love, the majority of the Church says that He will eternally torment most of mankind after they die. We know that a thorough study of Scripture and the early Christian Church proves otherwise. We want the world to know this truly Good News." While I don't know if these folks would wish to be categorized as "Liberal Christians", I find their radical and intelligent approach to the illogical orthodox view of Hell to be so refreshing that I want to put it here, where it might be viewed by those of a similar frame of mind.

    The United Church of Christ Excellent site pertaining to this ecumenical denomination. "The United Church of Christ embraces a theological heritage that affirms the Bible as the authoritative witness to the Word of God, the creeds of the ecumenical councils, and the confessions of the Reformation. The UCC has roots in the "covenantal" tradition—meaning there is no centralized authority or hierarchy that can impose any doctrine or form of worship on its members. Christ alone is Head of the church. We seek a balance between freedom of conscience and accountability to the apostolic faith. The UCC therefore receives the historic creeds and confessions of our ancestors as testimonies, but not tests of the faith."

It seeks to promote liberal religion and upholds "the unfettered exercise of private judgement in matters of religion." The Hibbert Lectures have been promoted by the Trust for over 100 years, and have been given by such distinguished persons as Max Muller, Ernest Renan, Albert Schweitzer and Sir Rabindranath Tagore."
