[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went as a kid some. For me it’s too amorphous to offer spiritual direction. The atmosphere was like a conference room at a big, liberal, contentiously run nonprofit. It was interesting but didn’t have the mystery I like in my religion. [/b][b]As a kid I was also uncomfortable with the sex ed curriculum used in the high school religious ed program. In theory as an adult I think it is ok, but as a sporadic attendee I didn’t feel comfortable enough with the other kids or leaders to want to talk about such personal things[b][/b]. My take was that UU would be a great fit for an older couple looking for community primarily, but it’s pretty far from main line churches.[/quote]
I'm a former Catholic who was looking into UU myself.  However, what you mentioned makes me pause.  What personal things where you require to share?  Also, is the sex ed curriculum similar to what you may learn in health class in a public school or is it way out in left field?[/quote]

I did OWL as a kid and I think it's great and set me up for a lifetime of healthy sexuality and sexual boundaries. First of all, it isn't a requirement to attend. There is no required sharing (we sometimes did anonymous questions. It is very frank, and I feel like it gave me the knowledge and confidence to tell a partner clearly what I did and didn't want to do.[/quote]
