I know Chestnut Hill MA, Kings Chapel… do we know more congregations that keep a Book of Common Prayer?

I am a young woman (in STEM 💪🏻🤓) who broke off from the Catholic Church years ago as a young adult when it no longer resonated with me. Since then, I have identified as atheist, but have missed a congregation/community as well as a framework that helps me to push myself to be better and explore my views and opinions. I truly never thought I would be excited about a religion ever again (or welcomed in one), until I discovered UU this last week. I cannot tell you how excited I am that I discovered this! I am 1000% sure that this resonates with me and I am jumping in headfirst, reading “A Chosen Faith.” With all the uncertainty in the world, this really does help me to feel better about life. In fact, the political uncertainty is what brought me here- as I am frustrated that religion is being used in many ways to harm people, where I think that its purpose should be to uplift and meet people where they are. I want to act on this belief. It’s also just nice to belong to a community, whether in person or in spirit. I plan on going to a local UU church this weekend. It’s been a hard year for me, and I just wanted to put out there how excited I am! I truly think UU will help me to be a better person! Thanks for reading (if you did) ❤️🥰
