[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in close-in northern Prince Georges county, so Paint Branch UU is closest to us. We have a 6 month old son and are older first time parents. I was raised Methodist but am really a Buddhist, studied in the Tibetan tradition but not practicing with any group anymore. My husband was raised fundamentalist Christian (sort of Free-Will Baptist) and is now an atheist/agnostic humanist, liberal politically, world citizen type.

Where might we fit in? Because we were both raised in a church, I see the benefit of it. I want our son to have spiritual roots and be educated in at least the Judeo-Christian tradition with a strong open mind and heart. My husband and I have discussed that we would send him to vacation Bible school, for example, so that he can be exposed and educated, but I am worried DH won't be open to joining a regular spiritual community unless it offers him intellectual and community engagement.

Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.[/quote]

I don't know about specific UU churches, but any UU church should fit your basic needs.   I think you'd find a lot of couples like yourselves in the UU.  As for vacation bible school -- UU's have something like that too, but I'd beware of a Christian bible school -- many don't just expose, they indoctrinate. There's a way to learn about christianity without learning that you must believe it.[/quote]
