Christian Universalist Association
The Christian Universalist Association is an association of individuals, churches and ministries who advocate Christian universalism as the central theme of the Christian Gospel. It was founded in 2007 by Kalen Fristad and Eric Stetson, originally incorporated in Virginia. The association reorganized in Colorado in 2018, and its mission became one of providing many of the services, resources, and events of a small denomination: endorsement for chaplains, education of and ordination as clergy for both chaplains and congregational ministers, and search assistance to congregations for hiring clergy. The original name Universalist Churches Association was changed to avoid confusion with the Universalist Church of America, which merged into the Unitarian Universalist Association in 1961.
The Universalist National Memorial Church in Washington, DC founded the hosting meeting of the Christian Universalist Association.The CUA currently lists seven key ideas including universal reconciliation, affirmation of the supernatural, emphasis on The Golden Rule as the fundamental ethical idea, and the belief in divine justice.
