I love that. Thank you Hana, your whole post really clarified a lot of things for me!
I have 2 UU churches nearby. I posted earlier about trying to go to a UU's "religious transitions" group... I still plan on that. I have gone to a few Humanist meetings at another UU church. Those are lectures w/keynote speakers.
I do like the hymnbook. Just wish I had a piano again! Ugh! But I'm gonna keep it.
I was just surprised. If you want one though, I found mine on half.com. I really enjoyed looking through it and singing the songs I know. My 5 yo has never really been around me singing much, so he repeatedly told me to be quiet.
But it felt so good to feel the connection again that music has for me.
The whole concept of UU is so completely foreign to me, as I grew up in a very legalistic church which is the same all over the entire world. Therefore, ALL our hymns would be strictly doctrinal. So to see some hymns on God in the Traditions book, made me wonder if all UU's believe in a HP. Just trying to understand a new mindset.
You all made sense, thanks for helping.
Anything in particular I can expect from a UU meeting? I guess I can just show up and walk in?
