This morning, Alisa and I attended the 
Amherst Unitarian Universalist church service. My family attended a Unitarian church much of the time I was growing up. I was always rather taken with the Unitarian perspective. I have always described Unitarianism to people, rather tongue in cheek, as "the belief in one God or less". More seriously, I've always cherished a quote they had on the wall in the church when I was growing up
Ethical living is the only reality that gives meaning to religious belief.
It was much later that I learned about Unitarianism as a rejection of the role of the dogma of the trinity and emphasizing the need for people to use their own reason to apprehend the fundamental questions of life.
When we first moved to Amherst, we visited the Unitarian church and, although it was OK, it didn't inspire me to return. But they just got a new minister, so I thought I'd visit again and see what the new minister was like. I was intrigued because I'd heard she was a biologist. Her sermon was OK. I saw it as trying to reinterpret Christianity from a perspective that didn't conflict with science and modern thinking. I have to admit that I'm not very interested in reinterpreting Christianity (as much as I appreciate the idea of reinterpreting narratives and "using the tools of the oppressors against them"). But the sermon was OK -- it was the rest of the service that I found objectionable. I didn't care for the affirmations and hand-motions and calling the children up to the front and being singled out to introduce myself as a newcomer to the congregation. So I don't think I'll be likely to go back again.
