Unitarians and Universalists outside the UUA
Earlier, I mentioned the possibility of a Universalist church outside the UUA. As it happens, there are several, though not nearly as many (who opted out of joining the UUA) as there once were. Some died; some became Community Churches and lost their Universalist identity.
One of the survivors � Universalist and Christian, and dear to me � is Rockwell Universalist Church, Winder, Georgia.
Some � well, so far, one � Unitarian church(es) are in the American Unitarian Conference while an case for independence is made by the Wasatch Front Unitarian Fellowship “an Independent Unitarian Presence in Utah”
Some Unitarian Universalist congregations, especially out west, seem to have a relationship with a UUA district, but aren’t members of the UUA. Whether these small groups ever plan to join the UUA is unclear. I’ve put the names of a couple (with membership numbers in parentheses) in the extended entry.
