This discussion hasn't really mentioned the Alliance of Baptists, though I would imagine there are plenty of universalists within their ranks. As a group, they tend to avoid doctrinal statements, and their association rests more on what they have in common which is a more progressive theological perspective than any other group of Baptists. Initially formed in reaction to the conservative resurgence in the SBC by most of the churches on its far left, it has also attracted the far left of ABC-USA as well. It doesn't have a doctrinal statement per-se but it does allude to some universalist perspectives in several of its "statements," including on Jewish-Christian and Muslim-Christian relationships and in its ecumenical alliances, especially with the United Church of Christ.
