Additional commentary.
1. The Naming Convention of the Church
The name Universalist Unitarian is intentional with the facility. Often, churches that were part of the Universalist Church of America, and predecessor denominations, prior to the merger with the American Unitarian Association chose to use the name Universalist Unitarian (as opposed to Unitarian Universalist) to emphasize their Universalist heritage.
Culturally, the main historical difference between Unitarianism and Universalism is: Unitarianism is a Mainline Christian denomination that rejects several tenants of Calvinism, particularly the doctrine of Total Depravity or Original Sin, and instead emphasized character education. Universalism is an Evangelical Christian denomination that historically emphasized the eventual reunion of all souls with God, or Universal Salvation with some disagreements about whether hell was either impermanent or absent within their theology.
