In a nutshell Christian Universalism (also known as the "Larger Hope") is the belief that all Souls shall ultimately find harmony with the divine. It is Christian in that it seeks to follow the Way of Jesus.

Although this website will explore Christian Universalism, it is primarily about the old Christian Universalist Church, her history, theology and liturgy. Occasionally other Christian Universalist denominations or groups will also be included. My own personal Universalist theology is covered at Reimagining Christianity. Lastly, as I live in Ohio, I have an interest in the growth of Universalism in Ohio I have created a page just for Christian Universalist Churches in Ohio.
