[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cedar Lane Unitarian Church[/quote]

Do you go there?  What do you like about it?  I am looking for a place that is progressive, interested in social justice, strong community, has some level of religious foundation/spirituality.  We are an interfaith family - Catholic/Jewish.  [/quote]

Not the PP, but I am a member there.  We have a relatively large RE program, strong commitment to Social Justice issues, skew liberal, with many interfaith families.  We are a chatty crowd.  I like that the children that I've met in the RE program seem to have good sense and do not appear to be status-seeking in any way.  I like that my kids get to learn about all the world's religions and how certain ideas about how to behave ethically and morally are incorporated into all religions.  I LOVE the Senior Minister, who is personable, well-spoken, funny, and happens to also be Hindu.  I like that UU provides paths for behaving ethically and morally without denigrating other people's ways following those paths.  I like that Cedar Lane honors other traditions, either by incorporating ideas into service (Yom Kippur, Rosh Hoshanah) or by having separate "Soul Matters" get togethers (Diwali, Holi Day).  I like that Christmas is still a tradition with Christmas Eve carols and a reading of the birth of Jesus with all the 1st graders making animals out of cardboard to represent the various animals that came to the manger.  I like that LGBTQ and differently-abled people are welcome with open arms.[/quote]
