Open and affirming churches/religions of all types

Hi Keri,

I forgot to mention that there is an online church for people who do not have a UU congregation nearby and it is lead by a lesbian Minister Rev Meg Riley who is wonderful:

The Church of the Larger Fellowship

Unity Church of Christianity is where I go . Everyone is welcome and embraced, just the way they are, for who they are. As it should be in life. It's very spiritual , doesn't feel like organized religon to me.

A UU friend posted this on Facebook today and I thought it would be nice to share

Today for Transgender Day of Remembrance, a special offering to Kwan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion, who was born in India as Avalokiteshvara, assigned a male sex, and transitioned to female gender when she traveled to China (which is how she is known in Korea and Japan as well). May 'she who hears the cries of the world' keep all who do not fit into prescribed norms safe and loved today and every day.

Tomorrow I am attending my first MCC service and I am very excited! It has taken me nearly a year to come to terms with the fact that I can be gay and still be a Christian. The circumstances that lead me to this decision are interesting. I had no intention of attending this or any other church for that matter. But after almost attending another event at this church, I began thinking more about it. I believe that God works in mysterious ways.

I wish you well in this part of your journey...

We have an MCC church at the beach that we attended a few times years ago. My spouse is Christian but I'm not, so we eventually just quit going. It was real nice though. I have never attended a Unitarian Universalist church but I've always been kinda curious about them.
