Unitarian Universalist Religious Society of Spain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Unitarian Universalist Religious Society of Spain (Sociedad religiosa Unitaria Universalista de España, aka known by the acronym SUUE) was an attempt to organize Unitarian Universalism in Spain. Although the SUUE became a member of the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists (ICUU) in June 2001, and had fellowships in Barcelona and Madrid, it did not achieve recognition as a religious organization from the Spanish government.
The organization considered itself to inherit from a tradition of liberal religion in Spain.
In 2001, the Spanish Ministry of Justice denied the registration of SUUE as a religious organization in Spain on the grounds that it lacked a creed. This rejection was confirmed in 2006 after a second request for legalization was made that emphasized the religious nature of the organization and its historical and denominational links.
Nowadays the Spanish Unitarian Universalists are looking for alternate ways of legalization that preclude the existence of SUUE as it had been originally conceived by its promoters.
