Hello,

First off, when I say 'liberal' I do not refer to the modern sense of liberalism in American political discourse. Rather I refer to traditions and ideas that stem from the Enlightenment period of Western Europe.

I 100% agree with the UU perspective on God, no religion having a monopoly on truth & the path to salvation, and a commitment to spiritual growth in all it's forms.

However, I find that the reason I came to UU beliefs stems from a different philosophic approach. One I'll call the 'mystical' approach. Within pretty much all major philosophical and religious traditions there are mystic elements as relates to 'experience with the divine' and the 'oneness of God' and that these experiences are open to all who seek it.

Is this compatible with UU values?

Do you guys have any sources of Unitarian Universalist exegesis of the Bible? Could be a whole text, just a homily, a framework from which to view the text, doesn't matter.

Hello, all. I've realized Unitarian Universalism aligns the closest by far with my ideals. I can't believe in damnation of others who haven't heard the name Christ but live as he did in every way. I can't believe that my church is the ONE TRUE CHURCH when Christianity has been an array of sects from it's inception.

That being said, my soul isn't sated at protestant style worship. Chanting, incense, ritual....it just does something for me. And I know it's not my upbringing because for most of my upbringing we attended modern American style non-denominational churches.

Are there UU churches that retain a more high-anglican, Catholic, orthodox style of worship?
