Persons who believe that Christianity is the only way to know God and receive salvation would tend toward a "low" score on this index, while persons who believe that most religions have at least part of the ultimate truth and that there are multiple paths to God would tend toward a "high" score on relativism. High relativism is similar to universalism, the view that all human beings will eventually receive salvation. (RLTVSM)

392) One way to share information throughout the PC(USA) would be to provide money so that every congregation would have a computer and modem that could be used for accessing a denominational electronic mail and conferencing system. Then, news and minutes of meetings of the boards and agencies of the denomination could be made available on the computer-based communication system and representatives from each congregation could read or print out the stories they find relevant. Implementing this proposal would cost approximately $7 million, and the monthly cost to each congregation would be about $8. What do you think about this idea? (PRVDMDEM)
