Unitarian Universalism

Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion characterized by a "free and responsible search for truth and meaning". Unitarian Universalists do not share a creed but are unified by their shared search for spiritual growth. As such, the Unitarian Universalist Church (UU) includes many agnostics, theists, and atheists among its membership. The roots of UU are in liberal Christianity, specifically Unitarianism and Universalism. Unitarian Universalists state that from these traditions comes a deep regard for intellectual freedom and inclusive love, so that congregations and members seek inspiration and derive insight from all major world religions.

The beliefs of individual Unitarian Universalists range widely, including atheism, agnosticism, pantheism, deism, Judaism, Islam,Christianity, neopaganism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Humanism, and many more.

The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) was formed in 1961, a consolidation of the American Unitarian Association, established in 1825, and the Universalist Church of America, established in 1793. It is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and serves churches mostly in the United States. A group of thirty Philippine congregations is represented as a sole member within the UUA. The Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC) became an independent body in 2002. The UUA and CUC are, in turn, two of the seventeen members of the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists.

U to U

U to U, sometimes labeled as U-2-U, is a weekly Nickelodeon television series that aired from 1994 to 1996. The show focused on displaying viewer-submitted work and ideas in their "Straight From U" segment where viewers were able to submit their work via mail, e-mail, fax, or telephone.

The show included short stories and comic strips written by viewers that were turned into animated shorts, and songs that were written and made into music videos. The interaction of series allowed viewers to play games over the phone, ask questions to celebrities, meet pen pals from other countries, and read letters aloud.

The show also featured an online presence in the Prodigy Internet service where viewers could create and send content for show consideration as well as participate in bulletin board conversations.

Recurring segments

U to U featured several recurring segments throughout its run, such as "And Then...", a segment of videos of different children continuing a funny story in the manner of the game of Chinese Whispers. Another popular segment involved the ability for children to call into a 1-800 number to connect live to the show and play a video-game in real-time through their touch-tone telephones. The game featured two 3-D models of ostriches, one dressed like a ballerina the other like a pirate, and the players would compete for a prize. If the show was a re-run, a message indicating the show was pre-recorded would appear in the corner, as well as reminders for children not to call in as the show was not airing live at the time. Throughout the run of the show, these touch-tone elements would appear in other segments, such as a caller hitting the pound key on their phone to stop a spinning wheel on a video monitor to try to win a prize.
