I'm a member of the UU church in downtown Anaheim, California. Since COVID started, we've been meeting on Zoom. Now we're holding hybrid meetings, on Zoom or in person. Eventually, we're going back to meeting strictly in person, no firm date yet. You might be able to find a Zoom service, maybe ours.

hello! i recently found out about UU and joined this sub just barely. it's been great investigating so far.

i'm exmormon (PIMO, if you know what that means) and I've been burned really bad by trusting the religion i was raised in. UU seems so wonderful right now but I want to take my time to determine if this is what i really want to try or not.

i guess the main reason for my hesitance is the rampant sexual abuse, transphobia, and cult tactics in my local community. i don't want to experience that again without tools to cope and report it.

i'm very lost on where to find potential resources for this issue. i greatly appreciate the lgbt friendly tags for the local services but it's all a little overwhelming trying to get info on the more actionable of UU's safety tools.

if anyone has any advice or could offer guidance on how to better understand the formatting of the links in the about section that would be great! and thank you for your time.

I think I first heard about UU in a Tara Brach interview with Pete Holmes.

I grew up Catholic. I like meditating and Buddhism.

I’d love to hear what it’s like growing up in it. And I’d love to hear other convert’s journeys.

I’m interested in joining a congregation. Unfortunately the closest UU church is over 50 miles away from me so I’m considering online attendance for the most part.

Edit: Whoops. Title typo. Six weeks.

I love having the opportunity to make inter generational friends but I would also love friends my age. What’s the demographics like for your community?

I’m 34M Filipino American

We often hear people talk about the Unitarian roots of Humanism, especially individuals like John Dietrich and the Unitarian signers of the Humanist Manifesto I. What doesn’t get talked about as much is how Humanism became part of the Universalist tradition. Does anyone have any insights or resources I could use to learn more about Universalism’s historical relationship to Humanism?

Can someone please give me a brief overview of the history behind how atheists, humanists, agnostics, and deists ended up a part of these two Christian denominations? Did some Unitarian minister or Universalist minister just wake up one day and come out to the congregation as a humanist? How, exactly, did the incorporation happen?

The progressive views of Unitarian really appeals me. But aside from that I know almost nothing about church. The culture, how the service is like, is it family friendly, etc.

If you’re open to talking with me on text or on phone, please reach out

Preferably someone located near New York (where I’m at)

As the title says (online would do as well). I consider myself a bit of a journeyman when it comes to religion. Started out in a Catholic+Theosophy home. Then just after I completed my national service I joined the Krisna movement because of a girl. That didn't go too well. I have been simultaneously looking at the Islamic (smaili) movement, but would like to broaden my horizon regarding the Unitarian church. I am really just looking for something that blends the wisdom of many faiths together but is also sensible, doesn't have too many strict demands about about personal hygiene and dietary customs, and above all is non-racialist, peace-loving and humanist.

Just some general questions here. I align most closely with Christianity, but agree with some portions of Christian Universalism and some with Christian Unitarianism. I don't know what this makes me, I've been thinking maybe I should find which one I align more closely to and just agree to disagree on some points? I guess my only issue is that UU is a lot of religions and I am only a christian and that's confusing (not problematic) to me. Thank you!
