Veratatis Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well, I'm moving to a large metropolitan area soon, and I feel like I should find a new religious home. I was last in a Fundamentalist church, then became an Atheist for a couple of years. I'm not currently attending a church because there's really not a progressive church around this area. However, in the city I'm moving to there's a wide range of churches to choose from, and I want to start looking for a new place of worship. What churches would everyone here recommend? I don't want to go in blind looking for a new church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 For Christian denominations that tend to be more liberal and progressive, I would look for UCC (United Church of Christ, not to be confused with CoC), Disciples of Christ Christian Church, Anglican (but high church), or maybe some UMC (United Methodist, but would vary from church to church). If you want progressive, humanitarian but without the Christian focus, you might want to consider Unitarian Universalist congregations.

Veratatis Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I would definitely like to join the UCC or Episcopal church, perferrably the UCC. And having a focus on Christianity is a must, which is the reason I'm avoiding the UU route. I am a universalist, but I feel most at home in Christianity.

Veratatis Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yes! I found a church not 10 minutes from my new place that states plainly on their website that they are a theologically liberal church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Good for you, Veratatis! I hope it is everything you are looking for and more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veratatis Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thank you! Interestingly enough, it's a DoC church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAsIAm Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 It might be a little late, but my experience with some of the ELCA Lutheran churches has been positive. Some are very liberal. They are all over the board, so it depends on the individual congregation. Jaia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
