I have mentioned before in this blog that I attend a Unitarian Universalist church. Since the reaction of people in person to such information is usually a puzzled look on their faces, I thought I’d post about this topic here.
Recently I came across the following video. I thought it was nicely done and pretty much says what I would want to say but with more aplomb (and humor). So…if you are curious and have a few minutes, why not learn a little about the fifth most popular religion in the U.S.?
So there you have it.
I would just add that I feel much like the people in this video, namely that finding this denomination had been a real blessing, that I look around at my fellow parishioners in my congregation and feel privileged to be in the same community with them, that I feel truly welcome and free to exercise my intellect in church. It’s a good fit for me and my family.

I have never heard of this religion, thanks for posting this.
I like the concepts and honestly, behind closed doors, almost every Catholic I know thinks this way. I guess a lot of them really like the community they were born in and they just stick with their church to stay with that community.
Church really is a social network, I think. LOL.
I like the rituals of my religion, the incense burning, the candles, communion. The crazy kneeling, standing, sitting thing. It makes me feel at home or something.
But I haven’t been there in years.
Yeh, I grew up Lutheran, and I sometimes miss the liturgy. I always enjoyed the call and response in song aspect. So I think I understand a little of how you feel about your own church.
Funny what you say about Catholics, though…. A great many of our UUs are actually, what do folks call it — lapsed Catholics.
I wasn’t surprised at all when they cracked open Mother Theresa’s journal and found out she had her doubts, that she used the church as a vehicle to accomplish that enormous task of hers.
