THE UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST POCKET GUIDE edited by REV. PETER MORALES, 5th edition (2012) ~This slender UU guide is a delicate little pocket guide, but it packs a decent punch. I've heard reports that lots of Unitarians carry this on their persons. Personally as a Buddhist I carry the Tehillim - the Psalms - in Hebrew. But this is a great little book for everyone and I just might start carrying it, too. There's some education to be had from it.There is one objection I have about this book, and that is its essential dishonesty in failing a solid description of Unitarian Universalism. Unitarian means a Christian who rejects the divinity of Jesus yet still calls him "Jesus Christ". The Universalist is not necessarily on board with the Unitarian, but believes Jesus Christ came to save us all whether we believe or not. However, there's more unity than ever, however tenuous, hence the UUA.So the UU rejects the divinity of Jesus but not his role as "savior" of all humanity, nor do they relinquish the Christian bible. That is a little anti-Semitic. Either way, there's a better term for this system of theology: Manicheanism. It's one of the old heresies, and the UUA says it embraces heretics. Yet they teach a core belief that you're worthless if you reject the bible. Hmmm.Anyway, the writing is friendly enough, accessible, and I wish the youth of today especially would read this. Along with Buddhism, Unitarianism is the way of the future as long as honesty remains a pillar. It ought to have been America's default "church setting" but alas, no. I'm sorry it shares one or two mainstream Christian bad ideas, but the UUA is the one best suited to break with all that. The question is whether they'll simply break into pieces.
