An interesting thought

[dusktintedkiss]

Since I moved back in with Mom and Dad, I have been going with Mom to church on Sunday. I am normally against organized religion, mostly for the fact that what I had grown up "knowing" started to clash with how I felt inside. This church is different though. It is Unitarian Universalist (UU for short) and while some of you may cringe or make fun

Very cool. I go to UU in Oak Cliff, which was the first church built after the two factions joined, it is really kind of neat being in the "first" one. We have a labyrinth out back, and once I am off the crutches, I plan to go take a stroll in it. Do you go to First Church in Dallas, or another one?

I was raised UU, and you're right - it's really neat. I had kids with two dads in my sunday school classes growing up, how cool is that?

Reverend and Minister are UU titles as well. The only terminology difference I can think of right away is that instead of being Baptized, kids are Dedicated. My brother and I were Dedicated together when he was a baby and I was about six - it's a really cool process. I think you'd like it: it involves a rose.

The one I went to was First Church in Dallas. It's nice, but a little too big for me.

So glad you've found something neat!

If it brings you peace and comfort, and you are not hurting anyone, then it is good. Screw what anyone else says.
