[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give church a try?  [/quote]

Why would she do that if she's secular?

OP, I agree with UU. It's also great you're doing mindfulness things with them. [/quote]

Maybe this feeling she is having/ her child is having is calling her to give it a try.  We all change, evolve.  Be open to new experiences.  [/quote]

This is OP. It sounds like UU is something that I should try. 
To PP suggesting giving church a try- no thanks- that’s the point of my question, something other than church. this is not “a calling” for me/ my children to return/go to church. [/quote]

It might be a "calling" for you daughter.  I have twins and have exposed my kids to literally the same of everything.  They have been exposed to church but not a lot.  One seems to have an organic and innate belief in god or spirits.  There are lots of spirits discussed and afterlife and it might even be akin to animism.  The other has absolutely no interest or apparent belief.  I am more like the first.  I cannot explain it and was not brought up with church but really was curious and later took myself.  So, I think your Universal Unitarian plan sounds good but I suggest avoiding negative or disparaging characterization of church or God or spirits around your child.  As I am sure you know, your opinion is so important and you want to keep that discussion open even if it is something you don't particular believe.  Shutting it down as not part of your family won't necessarily change how she feels but more how she acts.  [/quote]
