The community at the Bull Run Unitarian church is SUPER active if you are willing to drive out there. Lots of social events, really great community.
They also host a lot of events for local democrats--they've hosted town halls and campaign events for Danica Roem, Jennifer Wexton, etc.

Yes it does. It applies to some Episcopalian and UCC and Methodist and Lutheran churches.
Right. Some clergy or parishioners may not believe, but they feign belief to the extent of going through the motions.

Don’t know where the OP is but Burke’s Episcopal churches, Good Shepherd and St. Andrews, are progressive with solid and growing congregations. Good Shepherd even has its own theater company.

When a catholic misses mass it's a mortal sin that must be confessed, or else when you die, you'll feel the loss of heaven and the pain of hell

But no Jesus, except maybe as a passing reference.

Can you share more what you’re looking for op? Is it more UU type or a Christian church that is progressive? And where are you located? St. Peter’s episcopal in Arlington is not at all crickets, lots of families and things really picking back up. It’s not the most liberal you will find ever, there are a mix of folks but a heavy leaning liberal as is common in this area and a new rector. It’s a wonderful community, I grew up going there.

Are you still on the hunt after checking out the examples upthread? It would be helpful to know if, say, UU is not for you.

Umm. Have you met any Quakers or Unitarians?

I would look at Episcopal and Presbyterian. Usually more chill, as well as progressive.

None of them qualify as progressive, at least not in Virginia.
