Here’s a sample letter that individual universalists could adapt and send to Cameron (e.g., via DM on Instagram/Facebook, or email if available— one unverified source lists kirk.cameron@gmail.com, but verify through his site). It offers sympathy, compares the views, and persuades him toward universalism while helping him defend his current position.

Dear Kirk Cameron,
I hope this message reaches you in good spirits. As a fellow believer in Christ and a Christian Universalist, I wanted to express my sincere sympathy for the attacks you’ve faced since sharing your views on annihilationism. It’s heartbreaking to see brothers and sisters in faith label you a heretic or question your gospel commitment—simply for wrestling honestly with Scripture. This is sadly common; those of us who hold to universal reconciliation (the belief that God will ultimately save all through Christ) face the same vitriol from ECT proponents. We’re accused of denying justice, yet both our views stem from a deep reverence for God’s mercy and a rejection of endless torment as incompatible with His love.
I applaud your courage in “Are We Wrong About Hell?” and your clarification video—it’s refreshing to see someone with your influence challenge traditional teachings biblically. Annihilationism is a compassionate step forward, emphasizing destruction over torture and aligning with verses like Malachi 4:1 (the wicked as stubble) and John 3:16 (perish vs. eternal life). It defends God’s character better than ECT, which can portray Him as vindictive.
Yet, as you defend this position, I gently encourage you to consider the next step: Christian Universalism. If God desires all to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4) and His will cannot be thwarted, why annihilation? Universalism sees judgment as restorative— “fire” that purifies (like in Isaiah 48:10) until all confess Christ willingly (Romans 14:11). Proofs include the mistranslation of “eternal” punishment as temporary ages of correction, early church support (e.g., Clement of Alexandria), and the ultimate victory over death (1 Corinthians 15:28, where God is “all in all”). Resources like *All Shall Be Saved* by David Bentley Hart could bolster your roundtable.
Your platform could help many see this hope. I’d love to discuss or share more—let’s stand together against ECT critics.
Blessings,
