I was just wondering if anyone else here attends or has attended a UU church and perhaps they could talk about their experiences there themselves. | ================================================== =
This atheist was married by a female Unitarian minister in a secular ceremony. Having the minister pleased my husband's more religious family members.. She included a small section that my dad's Jewish family liked. The whole thing was secular, really, and that made me happy and pleased my atheist immediate family. It was a ceremony that blended different backgrounds and that everyone could enjoy.
I really liked our minister and felt like she really respected my atheism and her presence was a nod to my hubby's religious background (though I would call him agnostic). It didn't make me want to run out and join the unitarians, but this woman was a positive representative of her church.
If you want New Age-y, try the Church of Religious Science. it's not Scientology. There's a church in Redondo Beach that I attended with a friend a number of times many years ago. For years, I have driven past this church and am always reminded of an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss. Their webpage doesn't have show the building to its best effect, but you can get an idea. Cool building, though. CRS Spiritual Center - Redondo Beach |
