I was UU until 1975, when I converted to Christianity. Most UUs do not share my view of Scripture. However, very few share MY view of the scriptures.
 Since there seem to be NO congregations with my view on Scriptures, and UU seems to be more in line with my views on homosexuality and war, I feel I have to revisit them. There has to be "chemistry" as well as a like viewpoint.

Interesting. You haven't considered the Religious Society of Friends, have you?
Edit to add: Sorry, I only ask because your views reflected in this thread are very 'Quaker-like.'

I know of no Quaker congregations in my area. I do know of at least two UU congregations that are local to me.

Netdoc...
Also, I would check out the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship.... There are indeed UU Christians out there... and I keep flirting with the idea of whether or not I am one of them. http://www.uucf.uua.org/ Yours in Faith, David

Oh yes. I almost forgot about the UUCF. Definitely worth checking out.

Nothing around where you're located? Darn.

Well, it appears that my old UU congregation is the closest.
But there is a Quaker congregation near by.

NetDoc,
I might have been unclear about the UUCF... what you would find is that UUCF "Covenant Groups" meeting at and being members of local UU Churches. In other words, they are an organization within UU, not a separate kind of UU church. So, if your old church does not have a UUCF group, then you could become a member and start one. We did that in Galveston (when I was there) and found quite a bit of interest for awhile. The person who founded the group eventually found himself called to serve as the minister of a congregationalist church (he was a retired minister) but It was interesting to watch. That is the great thing about UU... if you dont feel that there is a place for you there, then it is not too hard to create a place, and the prejudices of many UU's (we are intolerant of intolerance ) will actually help you in creating for yourself a place. Yours in Faith, David
