I will start this off with an apology to those who are not interested in this topic.. it really did meander from the original post. I was just so excited after coming back from "Hippie Camp" I had to share. Maybe this wasn't the right place.
 
Ok for those of you who are interested this is what I wrote privately (but this time I corrected the spelling):
This is an issue with us UUs. The difference from Church to church (fellowship to fellowship, congregation to congregation) is HUGE. There are 7 principles that we believe in. :
  • The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
  • Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
  • Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
  • A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
  • The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
  • The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
  • Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
    • I would say that none of the churches are Christ-centered. Jesus is looked at as a very gifted teacher and moral leader. Most UUs do not believe in the trinity (or that Jesus was the son of God). The Jeffersonian Bible is sometimes cited. Basically the church has no ANSWERS they just provide the foundation for a search for your own personal path. I have been going to UU churches since I was 16 and have been to about 5 of them. They were all different but I fit in at all of them (some better than others).
    If you are interested the UUA is a great place to start www.uua.org.
    Take Care,
    Daria

    Can't speak for anyone else (no matter how often I try), but
    personally I'd like to hear the answer as well.
