I believe in the Christian God (supreme deity). I believe in my beliefs and I respect other's beliefs. We are all children of the same God (supreme deity) as I call my god God and others refer to their god by a different name. The love we share is validation of our God (supreme deity) and it is the fabric of our existence.

Desiderata - The Why it Fits The ULC?
Appears on The Monastery's Front Door in Poetic Form. In 1971 a lyrical version was introduced by Les Crane. You can hear Desiderata - The Song by going to http://www.cauleys.com/ulc Desiderata was introduced to me by the famous singer and Brother Stevie Wonder at a 1972 retreat in Wisconsin. I memorized it than and it has stayed with me for life and forever will stay with me. Now nearly 40 years after it was introduced to me it appears on the door of the Universal Life Church Monastery.......
Coincidental or is it a very strong message from God?
Desiderata - by max ehrmann (Poetic Form)
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann c.1920

Greetings:
As Chief Moderator of the ULC Network I wish to again emphasize that the ULC does not believe in censorship. The ULC supports our right under Free Speech, as Chief Moderator I do ask for your cooperation to comply with these simple and yes I use the word rules, but more so these are just common courtesies for our fellow brothers and sisters. We are a Religious Network for our Church, our actions herein are a reflection not just of ourself but of the ULC as well. Let us each continue to protect the integrity and the legacy of this great institution. If you have any issues, if you believe you have been wronged, please contact me by private email.
Also I want to point out a secondary ULC website to that of http://www.themonastery.org It is... http://www.ulc.org Check out our Wiki - our history and some super fantastic articles written by members of HQ in Seattle as well as our fellow members here on the ULC Network.
Remember together in unification we empower the message we look to share with the world, let us together as brothers and sisters set the example for future ULC Members and let us all pave the road to better tomorrows for each of us. Thanks to each of you for being a part of the ULC & Our Mission.
Brother Michael
