looking for an openminded, secular (but not anti-religious) spiritual community where i can discuss the meaning, value and import of multiple religions and spiritual traditions, from a pluralist and nonpartisan intellectual standpoint.
i'd like to read and discuss Torah, stare in awe at icons, compare Gita and Gospel, Study Sutta, pray with Muslims (even as an athiest) and have fellowship with my fellow man in the diversity of understandings.
i'm partly seeking a sense of community
but the gadfly papers and their fallout makes me question if UU is really nonpartisan
it shouldnt be offensive to ask questions about something like gender and come to a diversity of opinions
im curious if its mostly an online phenomena
do UU's IRL also hold progressive politics to be a sort of revealed dogma?
not interested in being written off as a white male and being stereotyped when i walk through the door
