The UU church is the small town in the big town I live in right now. (I totally relate to all the circles you mentioned in your post.) That is exaclty what it is for me. <BR/><BR/>I feel that people who get defensive about UUism being a religion are missing the point. Why try and seem like other churches when what we have is so good and fulfills a real need for other people?Braidwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058793283853671723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-1151870890153530562006-07-02T15:08:00.000-05:002006-07-02T15:08:00.000-05:00exactly what Hafidha said, why can we not be a com...exactly what Hafidha said, why can we not be a community and a place of faith and worship.Jamie Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024268765705070420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-1151856590098148162006-07-02T11:09:00.000-05:002006-07-02T11:09:00.000-05:00I think there are various reasons why people talk ...I think there are various reasons why people talk about the church not existing as community but as a place of worship. I suspect a lot of them are offering a <I>vision</I> more than the reality. <BR/><BR/>And UUs shouldn't feel guilty about seeing church as a huge part of community; it serves the same function for many people in other faiths. The worshipping is secondary for many to feeling part of something larger than just themselves.<BR/><BR/>But I think we have a little bit of fear, we UUs - that if we are only a "community" than we could be easily replaced with the Sierra Club or the local hiking group. But why can't we be multiple things?LaReinaCobrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554970165949410961noreply@blogger.com
