How do you review a church? I'm still processing my visit to UUCA, but here are some initial…read morethoughts, from pluses to minuses: --The people were welcoming without being obnoxious about it. This introvert was very glad not to be pushed to introduce herself during the service. --The congregation seems to have many opportunities for getting involved in social and educational activities, social justice initiatives, and volunteer work. --It's a beautiful sanctuary, full of natural light, earth tones, wood, and stone. --That said, the building is not particularly accessible to people in wheelchairs or who have mobility issues. Stairs everywhere. --I missed having children be present in the beginning part of the service and having people voice their joys and concerns, as some other UU congregations do. It may simply be a matter of logistics--UUCA has about 800 members and friends, so it needs two services just to handle them all. (Even with two sessions, our service was packed.) --Just once, I would like to attend a UU service that doesn't bash Christians. I've been to Jewish, Protestant, Catholic, Baptist, Assembly of God, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Quaker services, and none of them has ever categorically bashed another faith the way UUs do. --I also have to wonder about a tax-exempt religious organization that explicitly advocates a political viewpoint from the pulpit. (Verbatim from the guest speaker: "vote against Amendment One." For the record, I intend to vote precisely this way--I just don't understand how they're not in trouble with the IRS.) Maybe I was cranky that day, or maybe the regular minister would have given a different experience, I don't know.

As a woman who's spent plenty of time around him, never once have I felt uncomfortable, uneasy, or that there was some "hidden agenda." If you don't like him; he either said something that is true you just didn't want to hear or that you needed to help you but your ego can't handle it; or you're a narcissist who thrives on the attention.. Your so-called "review" isn't just false -- it's reckless. It's a desperate grab for attention at the expense of someone who's actually out here doing good work. Spreading lies doesn't heal anything; it hurts the people who genuinely need the hope, faith, and support that this community provides. Say what you want, but I know the truth. And the words you typed are fabricated, misleading, and flat-out false.
