I joined a UU congregation last January. I fell in love with it however over the past few months I found myself getting bored with the sermons. I kept going out of guilt and a sense of duty until I realized the sermons had nothing to do with stories or beliefs in religions. Rather the sermons tended to deal with things like loneliness, inclusivity, social media, procrastination, justice, that sort of thing.
Donβt get me wrong, they are interesting topics but I wanted to learn about different religions and their practices and beliefs, not listen to something that sounds like a speech at a self-help seminar. The most I hear about a religion is at Christmas and Easter.
Iβve thought about attending services of different congregation across various religions and denominations, but havenβt acted on it. United Church of Christ seems interesting.
Has anyone else experienced something similar in their UU congregation? Does anyone here identify as a Unitarian while attending services of different churches, temples, mosques, etc?
