Today I dragged the whole family to the Melrose Unitarian Universalist church for Sunday services. It's a touchy topic for me. I struggle with issues of faith, spirituality, and religion but miss the community of a church. Now that I have kids, I also think a lot about what I want to teach them about these issues. I have been disappointed by organized religion in my past and no longer find solace in their answers because I doubt the entire foundation on which they are built. But the truth is, I don't know how we got here either. Several years ago I decided that asking questions while being open to learning about spirituality was the only way for me. Given that, I was hopeful that the UU congregation might be a good fit.
It was only one visit, but I felt very comfortable there. Pip and Phil spent most of the time having a blast in the nursery and Viv flirted with everyone near us all through the sermon. We've decided to put two more visits on our calendar and re-assess again.
