Tabitha,
Unitarian Universalists are an interesting group of people. I really enjoy talking with them. I used to belong to a synagogue that rented space from a Unitarian Church in Chicago. They even allowed us to put a mezzuzah (a piece of enclosed parchment that has a central statement of belief in Judaism) on the entryway to their sanctuary. How cool is that?
I've never attended a service at a Unitarian Church. When my mother was a child she went to Unitarian Church services. She said that they were the most fun for her.
You really have me thinking here. I would suspect that Unitarian Services run the gammit and that every congregation has its own way of doing things. I'm curious now.
Thanks for the informaion,
Simcha

I assumed I'd have to sort of do that in secret, and find some church that almost fit, where I could take their doctrine with a grain of salt, and try to tread the line between being true to myself and being part of the group, and sort of be on the fringe with the other people who didn't take the belief system completely to heart. Which is sometimes successful, and sometimes not.
