Can theological language rooted in the late 19th century be translated into "language of reverence" for the 21st century? Members of
Universalist National Memorial Church in Washington, DC, would say yes, it can. In January 2008, they completed a two-year process of revising the declaration of faith used in their worship service. Each Sunday, members are invited to join in the free-will recitation of the new declaration, which reads:
In faith and freedom, we are called
to bring hope and healing to the world,
so that all may rejoice in God's grace.

the need for repentance and forgiveness of sin, and
the final harmony of all souls with God.
