The name for the project was originally conceived by Barbara, who was the Program Director for the 1993 Parliament of World Religions held in Chicago. We are working through a variety of media and a number of different organizations to build cohesion and connectivity, with the aim of empowering the highest ideals of global community.
Members are free to interpret it in their own terms.
If they are comfortable with the meaning it has for them, they are cordially invited to join UCS . Associated with the UCS project are a range of other network development activities. We believe that this book can serve as an essential reference text for anyone seeking to understand their own religion in the light of comparison with others. And for those who believe that spirituality and religion must become truly global, this book serves as the essential reference text. Our dialogues have attracted high quality scholars and spiritual believers from a wide range of traditions, and today, we consider issues ranging from the epistemology and semantics of religion to the ontology and philosophy of love.
