... the idea of karma (Hindu?) and Buddhist teachings? Kind of like a new age-type religion that encompasses Christianity as well?

The Dali Lama says to follow your own religion and add the teachings of the Budda. I have seen books that compare the teachings of the Budda and Jesus. As a side note, some people believe Jesus studied in a Buddist Temple in India. Also, the God of the New Testament is much different than the God of the Old Testament.

teachings of karma go against christianity, especially Protestantism. Therefore, they cannot encompass one another, only repel each other.

The Unitarian church combines a lot of principles from different religions.

Not that I've ever heard of. But then, I'm not "Mr. Know-it-all".
