Welcome to the DU Seekers On Unique Paths (SOUP) Group

[Skinner]

The Seekers On Unique Paths (S.O.U.P.) Group is for those who wish to hold respectful discussions about religions/belief systems that honor each individual's unique path or journey to God, a better world, or human interconnectedness as long as it does not harm someone else (focusing on the power of human interconnectedness and on utilization of the power of the human mind.). We welcome discussion and inclusive, progressive thoughts, and do not require belief in a deity per se.

In forming this group, we used the teachings of certain inclusive, progressive churches, such as the Unitarian-Universalist Church (www.uua.org ), New Thought Churches (e.g. Church of Religious Science – www.rsintl.org ) for beginning inspiration. We welcome the participation of other inclusive, progressive faiths, such as United Church of Christ (www.ucc.org ), and will seek to explore spiritual principles ‘outside of the traditional box.’

Participants in this discussion group need not be practicing members of a particular church, but should show tolerance for different faiths and paths encompassed in creating a better world. Terms such as superstition or cult should be avoided.
