Look, I love kale as much as the next spiritually curious pacifist, but if I show up to one more UU event where the strongest beverage is lukewarm chamomile, Iβm gonna start smuggling in espresso like contraband. Other churches get wine - we get herbal hydration. We deserve better, people.
Iβm a cis man working for the U.S. federal government overseas. I want to be more outwardly religiously liberal, as Christianity continues to be elevated over other faiths. Aside from a chalice necklace, what else can I do?
if this comes off as rude then i apologize because i don't mean it to. this is such a beautiful community and i resonate with so many things UU strives towards but the closest UU church to me is 40 minutes away by car, and my household doesn't have a car. it doesn't seem like we'll be able to get one any time soon either, and i also don't have anyone who would could drive me somewhere so far out of the way every single week, nor do i have the money to order a ride to so far away and back.
i joined the the First UU discord and i'm lurking here and the closest church to me livestreams their sunday services, which i watch, but that's all i can do and i feel like i'm missing out on pretty much everything. i checked the calendar on the church's website and there are just so many things the church does that are all in-person events and i just wonder what i'm even doing or if i can really consider myself UU when i can't participate at all.
is anyone else in the same position as me? how do you cope with the isolation in an organization so focused on community?
