Just “met” Jen via email, with a common link that we both practice Unitarian Universalism in New Jersey.
Reading through her blog I thought it’s a shame UUs have to qualify ourselves (“No, no, really, it’s not like other religions…”). I feel the same way. I wonder if this is the effect of the religious right (‘What do you mean you’re religious, you don’t even believe in Jesus Christ!”), the relative lack of spirituality these days (“What’r you some kind of religious freak?”), or if UUs always felt this way (“What the hell is Unitarian Universalism, you freak?”) ?
