[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son (away at college) goes to a UU church.  It's not a "Christian" church, but it attracts a lot of people from traditional Christian denominations.  I would guess that about 50% of the people in his church identify as Christians.   They are big into people searching and finding their own paths.  Typically the services include different speakers who lecture on spiritual topics and varies sacred texts.   His church has a wonderful music program and an active youth group.

Their services are very similar to the ones in our church- we attend a Unity Church.  The biggest difference is that while Unity is welcoming and open to all paths, it is based on the teachings of Jesus.  We have many non-Christians in our church community, but they know they'll hear the Bible and Jesus regularly.  Of course we also get a lot of Buddhist teachings mixed in as well.  I would say that 80% of the people in our Unity church would call themselves Christians.

Both churches stress that there are many, many paths.  Diversity and inclusivity are huge.  People are inherently good.  Spiritual seeking is important.  Both stress that no one religion is "right" and that we can learn from all of them.[/quote]
