I think I'm "really" a Unitarian?? (Jesus, ritual)

[des]

Well there is too small too. Our church is smallish, and I do things but not so much that they might get the idea I'd do everything. :-)
As for the dark spaces that's interesting. As a matter of fact, I was brought up in the Christian Science church (this is a whole other subject) which is usually well lit and bright. But I have come to like the secret darkish space. Though I'm not sure that all the things scurrying around might not be your own thoughts... :-)

Well I do have some crazy thoughts, so why not?

Say, has anyone posted this Betty Butterfield video here before? Since we're talking about finding churches and all.

Stairs, that is beautiful!

I don't have any words of wisdom other than to keep going to the UU congregation near you and see how you feel. You said that you like ritual. (I do too!) You may find that your UU congregation is lacking in ritual. At least, several of my former Christian friends who are UU now tell me that is the case with them. Then again, it may be fine with you.

Yes, there are differences in theology between UCC and UU but we are similar enough that I am confident that you could be happy in either one provided that you enjoy the congregation that you are in.

So that would be my advise, I guess. Don't worry about which label you choose. Pick the congregation that suits you best.

And whichever one you choose, hang with us in the UU forum!

Ah! Lilithu's keen intelligence has once more said it all; go to the U.U's a few time, and just get the "feel of it"..the rest is upto you.
