Subject: RE: UU musicians
greetings all - for further info:

There are Jewish UUs, Christian UUs, Buddhist UUs, Hindu UUs, Pagan UUs, Atheist UUs, Humanist UUs, Agnostic UUs, Taoist UUs, even a few Muslim UUs and a whole bunch o' regular UUs.

Unitarian Universalism does not inherently provide a spiritual or theological structure so many UUs who wish to have that find it in the teachings of other religions or philisophical/ethical systems.

Some UUs find limitations in the structure of their "affinity religion"; some find the liberal approach of UUism more to their liking though they do not wish to stop being Buddhist or Christian or etc.

To many UUs the community is the primary reason for belonging to a UU community. And most of the time there is no judgement as to your beliefs outside the 7 Principles stated above.

My church works in the community of Orlando FLA with a homeless shelter, Habitat for Humanity, an AIDS/HIV help center, the spouse abuse center, various AA meetings, N.O.W., the Hemlock Society, the Heiffer Project, plus we sponsor a tutoring program at a local Macedonia Baptist Church.

We also love folk music - we have a Folk Music Ensemble with 30 members and host an open-mike night every 2nd Friday of the month (called the Blackcat Cafe - from which I got my name).
