This was around 1988 or 1989, when they were doing a search for a new minister and they were having guest ministers. My recollection, which is a bit hazy now, was that it was one of the guest ministers who was applying for the position who offended some of the membership by using Christian language in a sermon, but it was long ago so some of the details are fuzzy right now. I was just an attender rather than a member, but I did attend regularly and I recall hearing about this criticism later on.Mystical Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828225180668865911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-1151428539072930112006-06-27T10:15:00.000-07:002006-06-27T10:15:00.000-07:00Years ago, I attended a UU church regularly in Col...Years ago, I attended a UU church regularly in Colorado, when a visiting minister used some Christian language in a sermon and a lot of the members were apparently upset over this. I always found it odd that it was okay to use Buddhist language or talk about other religious faiths, but to use Christian language was not okay. And I say this even though I don't consider myself a Christian.<BR/><BR/>I haven't attended a UU service more than 2 or 3 times in the last decade, so I can't say that I am familiar with where UUism is at these days. I never quite found the spiritual side of a liberal religion that I was looking for. I think my needs are too specific and narrow, unfortunately, for any religion to satisfy it. <BR/><BR/>Still, I can imagine that for UUs it would be nice to move beyond acrimony towards a real community of spirit that flourishes despite the differences.Mystical Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828225180668865911noreply@blogger.com
