It's always hard to tell anything from a group from one visit or service, but it was a warm feeling -- even if it felt a little more like a liberal arts class than anything spiritual. But the music was good, and I certainly felt more at home among the people than I have at most other congregations of any stripe that I have attended.<BR/><BR/>I also like some of the Quakers' approaches (silence is a nice thing), but unfortunately since they were run out of Virginia a few hundred years ago, they don't seem to be in any rush to reestablish a presence here. Not in my neck of the woods, anyway. <BR/><BR/>Glad you stopped in and hunted around. I'm temporarily taking a little leave from active blogging (such as it was), but am still responding to comments. Thanks for yours.czarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887869458750797012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090979633822979041.post-37576278933382372682009-02-23T11:03:00.000-05:002009-02-23T11:03:00.000-05:00I found my way here through a Google search for in...I found my way here through a Google search for information on copyediting for Demand Studios and have been enjoyed poking around here a bit more. <BR/><BR/>Have you looked into Unitarian Universalism? UU fellowships vary wildly (some are avowedly Christian in orientation, a few espouse paganism, and most are in between), but all adhere to a philosophy that is, in a nutshell, "Be nice to each other and to the planet." Many UUs are allergic to the word <EM>God</EM>, so it usually receives scant mention.<BR/><BR/>Social justice is important to UUs, as are respect for (and often inclusion of aspects of) other religions and acceptance of ethnic minorities and different sexualities. That "Coexist" image in this post is a popular UU bumper sticker.<BR/><BR/>Just a few thoughts here. Good luck in your search!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090979633822979041.post-73017295991471575142008-11-20T20:00:00.000-05:002008-11-20T20:00:00.000-05:00industrialist:There's no doubt there's one near he...<B>industrialist</B>:<BR/><BR/>There's no doubt there's one near here, but the only way I'm handling a snake is in the form of a wallet . . . and even then it'd be a little creepy.<BR/><BR/>Theatre? I'll bet you can't beat it for theatre. Then again, the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention was good theatre, too.czarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887869458750797012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090979633822979041.post-80798940155422181902008-11-20T15:44:00.000-05:002008-11-20T15:44:00.000-05:00It sounds like the Church of Christ with Signs Fol...It sounds like the Church of Christ with Signs Following would be the place for you, though I wouldn't recomend the punch.

I think I've posted on your blog, having linked to it through Moi. <BR/><BR/>Institutional religion helps me mainly insofar as it pays some of the bills around here, as you have no doubt discerned.<BR/><BR/>Better to be drinking punch than Kool-Aid, that's for sure.<BR/><BR/>And now I can cross my brother off the list for likely suspects. He's an NYC proofreader, oddly enough, but I don't imagine him reading blogs, not even mine. <BR/><BR/>I'm amused that my blog could be considered, even jokingly, as professional development. To me, it's avoiding work and providing some twisted form of public service -- although I shudder to think of the public.<BR/><BR/>What kind of copyediting do you do? Feel free to email me if you want to keep it out of the public domain.<BR/><BR/>And keep coming back.czarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887869458750797012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090979633822979041.post-86614653807514384722008-11-19T10:55:00.000-05:002008-11-19T10:55:00.000-05:00I'm not sure I can believe in no God and no heaven...I'm not sure I can believe in no God and no heaven.
