Why do you owe Valmy an apology?  IIRC I'm the only U-U on Languish.  :)

No, his wife got him into some hippy ultra-left Christian denomination or something I think.  I get the impression it's like the UCC, only even further to the left.  But quite similar to the UUA... anyway he'll show up and clarify I'm sure.

It is a 'New Thought' denomination technicaly I think.  But I think theologically there is basically no difference between U-U and Unity.  Many people in our congregation do not believe in God and others are basically really left wing Trinitarian Christians which is the same thing you would find in a U-U congregation.

Whenever people from my church start talking about the Trinity and Jesus I feel an overwhelming urge to vomit. :blush:
