    I'm so interested in this type of denomination. I have been reading about it for a few days now and it's really up my alley.

    I'm a Christian, but I have very openminded thoughts and ideas. And it sounds like an interesting philosophy?

    Is anybody here a Unitarian too? If so, can you give me info on how I can become one? Thanks...:sunny::love:

    Very different from pure Unitarianism and Universalism. Do you understand this? You don't seem to, it's not really Christianity at all.

    obviously you find a church, and join it. It is cool that there are people getting together to share all their different views and available spiritual paths....

    But I just don't get it, why make a religion and name it based on this idea....People should be doing this anyways. I know a lot of UU's and they all act like they're special people. A lot of them are sincere, it's just not my cup of tea, I'm not into the whole artsy fartsy semi-urban liberal clique.

    You can basically follow the same idea, by as an individual making connections with various religious people, and do a lot of your own research and thinking about the different paths of spirituality, and come up with your own philosophy. It's an anything goes world, I don't really think you need an organization dedicated to this, seems sort of ... ironic?

    You find a UU church and go to it.

    It's not church, it's more like a community centre.... Kind of like a grange, only less structured. You will find muslims, catholics, and everyone else. The only thing many of them will have in common is that their evil parent faiths will have disowned them for joining such a forward looking institution.

    I don't know much about them either - other than they are very open an accepting of various belief systems. I'm kinda like you. I'm really sick of the group/denomination I am in but feel the need for a fellowship. I'd probably be ostracized by everyone I know though.

    Yes, I've heard atleast in the case of a Jewish person marrying someone of another religion and joining the UU church their parents were very unhappy, and viewed them as condemned.
