Core Teachings of Universalism that whatever else God may be or not be, God is love — and that even if we reject belief in God at all, we can still believe in the power of love that no individual or tradition possesses the whole truth, but that each grasps a piece of what is true, perhaps several such pieces that all people are somehow sacred, whether we call this an inner divinity or simply human dignity and that the same fate—whatever it may be—awaits us all. Stefan Jonasson

World-Wide Love "The spirit of Love will be intensified to Godly proportions when reciprocal love exists between the entire human race and each of its individual members. That love must be based upon mutual respect for the differences in color, language, and worship, even as we appreciate and accept with gratitude the differences that tend to unite the male and female of all species. We do not find those differences obstacles to love." George de Benneville
