A very interesting article. Thanks for finding it. As I read it, UU has its origins in Christianity, but at this point it comprises both Christians and non-Christians, and therefore rejects a belief in the divinity of Christ as a condition of membership. Is this your understanding (if you are sufficiently interested to continue this? I think maybe we've run this topic into the ground.)

But I do have one quibble with a sentence in the article:

the Universalists became the first denomination to
ordain women to the ministry, beginning in 1863 with Olympia Brown.

That may be technically true, since the Quakers don't formally ordain anybody into the ministry. But the Quakers have been recording women as ministers on a fully equal footing with men since the 1600s.
