I think something like this would very nice.

i would be into that. i really enjoyed the UU in waco for approximately those reasons. it was open enough for me to feel comfortable with me belief or lack of, but the community was a big deal.

i'm a little bit freaked out by charismatic worship, since i was raised episcopalian, and they're pretty staid, but something like a religious ceili, with everybody sharing as they will, would be pretty cool. and i'd be willing to host, too.

One of the things I miss most about organized religion is the very deep and abiding sense of having a caring community around you. Except when I'm at festival I'm rarely surrounded by other pagans... when I went to church you had your family, and your extended family, and the family friends, and the friends your age, and the longer you were there the more your network expanded and the more people you knew. And those were people you could count on to lift you up and help out your family in times of need. And a guaranteed circle of friends to hang out with

I'd like to have something like this too. I'm actually kind of disappointed when my Yule get-togethers turn out to be parties and nothing more. I'd like to do some kind of ritual there too, but usually people are just intersted in partying. There have been a few times when a ritual happened anyway, but it seems like an afterthought.

I have the thought every now and then, and I've been doing this for years, even when I still lived in Austin, of having some sort of regular Full Moon gathering. but then I figure nobody would be interested.
