[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Seriously, if nothing else I am surprised that there are such few attempts at being PC, even on an anonymous website.

[b]We had an "officiant" at my first child's naming ceremony, and it was incredibly meaningful. We participanted, and basically designed the program, but to us having someone help guide that program (more than an MC) was invaluable because it let us be participants ourselves. [/b]

I can understand that ritual isn't for everyone, but I guess I don't really see why ritual is only valid if it's part of a prescribed "sacrament." So if we're not Catholic or Jewish, or whatever, what we do doesn't matter or count because it's not required by tradition or by our religion?

These days we're strapped financially [b]which is why having a student/intern of a UU church, for instance, would make sense.[/b]

Man I hope I am not friends with any of the rude commenters. It's disheartening to hear how close minded people can be.[/quote]

If you've already done this before and have an answer that would make sense - then why post?  Contact a UU church and ask them!  Is that the kind of help you were looking for?  What happened to the first officiant?[/quote]
