I told this person that I thought of myself as a Universalist, but that I have to get outside the Palo Alto church (which has a decidedly Unitarian orientation) to get my Universalism fix. And how exactly do I get my &#8220;Universalism fix&#8221;? this person wanted to know. Well, by hearing good kick-butt Universalist preaching, and by talking to some real Universalists. And who are the preachers who still deliver kick-butt Universalist sermons? &#8211;and who are the &#8220;real Universalists&#8221;? this person wanted to know. Well, I had to admit that many of the &#8220;real Universalists&#8221; who have kept me going me are either dead (like Bob Needham), or on the East Coast (like Richard Trudeau). As for kick-butt Universalist preachers, there&#8217;s Gordon McKeeman, but he&#8217;s not preaching regularly any more, and sometimes I hear some real Universalist preaching at<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ferrybeach.org\"> Ferry Beach, the Universalist conference center in Saco, Maine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These were not very satisfactory answers, I&#8217;m afraid. Therefore, I&#8217;m going to plug into my online Universalist hivemind. If you&#8217;re a Universalist, how and where and from whom do you get your regular Universalism fix?
