Unitarian Universalist
So I'm looking at the website for the Unitarian Universalist Association, first of all impressed by the fact that it is written in valid CSS and XHTML 1.0 (like a certain blog you're reading now), and reading about how unitarian refers to the fact that the church doesn't recognize the Council of Nicea's doctrine of the Christian Trinity, affirming instead the oneness of God. Universalist refers to the idea that God is unconditionally loving, and that salvation was for all. I'm primarily impressed by the syncretic nature of the church, and the libertarian sensibilities throughout, such as the lack of bishops. So it sets up this joke:

A man was walking up the street, when he passed by a Catholic Church. He noticed smoke pouring out of the building. He ran inside, and yelled to the Priest, "Father, Father!! Your Church is on Fire!" The Priest grabbed the New Testament, and ran out. A little farther up the road, the man passed by a Jewish Synagogue. Smoke was pouring out of the building. He ran inside. "Rabbi, Rabbi!! Your building is on fire!", cried the man. The Rabbi grabbed the Old Testament, and ran out. A little farther down, the man came by a Unitarian Universalist Church. It, too, was on fire. The man rushed inside. "Minister, Minister!! Your Church is on fire!", cried the man. The minister grabbed the coffeepot and ran out.
