[quote=Anonymous]I was raised Episcopalian (50s-60s) and had no idea at the time that it was supposed to be liberal.  As a kid, I found my church to be stuffy and out-of-date.  As an adult, I was an active member of a UU fellowship in a conservative town in Virginia where all the liberals came to find comfort and I loved it.  But when we moved to DC, we tried All Souls for awhile but it didn't really stick, in part because it was so big, but also because we didn't need it so much anymore.

Last year, dd had to go to a religious service for her Western Religions class and we went to St. Mark's in Capitol Hill. Something really clicked for me there. Liturgy changed from the days of my youth.  Seemed like a warm, friendly, and liberal congregation. We were invited to take communion even though we were just visiting. (I chose not to.  I really believe that's only for genuine Christians.) I could see going to St. Mark's and thinking of Jesus as a metaphor (have previously worshiped with Christians this way) just to have the benefit of a spiritual community again.

Anyway, this all is to say, as an ex-Episcopalian, lapsed UU, I suggest checking out St. Mark's.  You might find what you're looking for there.  Good luck with your search, OP![/quote]
