I've been a member of congregations in a couple of cities over the years, but never could commit to the one in my current city because I just couldn't deal with more dull sermons and services. Every one I've seen is read word-for-word from a page, with little to no extemporaneous speaking, and such little passion.

Why does this seem to be such a common trait in UU churches? And does anyone have recommendations for UU churches that aren't like this that livestream their services online?
