Anyone know how to find a church for a liberal christian?

I'm not really into denominations but I am looking for a church for a liberal christian to attend. I'm not sure what denominations are more liberal and less conservative. No dogma.

Go to belief.net and take the belief-o-matic quiz. It will tell you which denomination is most like your beliefs. Anyone know how to find a church for a liberal christian?
Try the Unitarian Universalists or Quakers or Episcopalian Churches: they are about as liberal as liberal can be. The Metropolitan Community Church with an almost exclusively gay memberships is the most liberal of all.





If there isn't one in your area, then you are screwed. Too bad.





And what are you doing wasting time in church anyway instead of taking a walk or shagging your mate, going hiking or camping or fishing or throwing a frisbee to your dog in a park or wrestling with your kids in the great Cathedral of Nature as you were intended to do.





Lions were not meant to philosophize and humans were not meant to exist in the stultifying brainwash of churches that take everything natural and destroy it.





';As the catepillar lays her eggs on the fairest leaves, the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.' William Blake, who was also a lot like Emily Dickinson below.





Some keep the Sabbath going to Church


I keep it, staying at Home 鈥?br>

With a Bobolink for a Chorister 鈥?br>

And an Orchard, for a Dome 鈥?br>




Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice 鈥?br>

I just wear my Wings 鈥?br>

And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,


Our little Sexton sings.





God preaches, a noted Clergyman 鈥?br>

And the sermon is never long,


So instead of getting to Heaven, at last 鈥?br>

I'm going, all along.

I always liked Walt Whitman who wrote ';There's more holiness in my **** than in all the churches of the world.';





At least his crap is natural which is more than we can say for religion.






If you consider yourself a christian (believe in the divinity of jesus), but have more liberal social views, the United Methodist Church may be a good starting point. I agreed with their positions, just not with their theology. Otherwise it was a nice church. Nice folks, good coffee.
The UCC is snarkily known as ';Unitarians Considering Christ';, so you might want to check them out (it actually stands for United Church of Christ).
Yup I sure do.





Find a U.U. near you.

Unitarian where they worship with pagans....I dont recommend it..
In other words, a non Christian church?





Just watch Oprah. I'm sure they'll show a bunch of them on that show.
