Dear Abby-July 26, 2010
DEAR ABBY: I recently had a child and would like to join a church for the community, moral messages and the music. I grew up going to one and got a lot out of it.

However, exploration throughout my 20s made me realize that I didn't believe what was being taught. Would it be dishonest to start attending again?

New Mom in Arkansas

DEAR NEW MOM: Many people consider themselves to be more "spiritual" than "religious." And I'm willing to bet that in many congregations there is a range in the intensity of belief among the attendees.

I encourage you to select a denomination with which you feel comfortable. Some -- like the Unitarian Universalist faith (www.uua.org) -- have no dogma and support their members in following their own spiritual paths.

The Unitarian Universalist Association

     WE, THE MEMBER CONGREGATIONS OF THE UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST ASSOCIATION, COVENANT TO AFFIRM AND PROMOTE:
     •The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
     •Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
     •Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
     •A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
     •The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
     •The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all;
     •Respect for the interdependent web of all existence, of which we are a part.

     THE LIVING TRADITION WE SHARE DRAWS FROM MANY SOURCES:
     •Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, that moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces that create and uphold life;
     •Words and deeds of prophetic women and men that challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love ;
     •Wisdom from the world’s religions that inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
     •Jewish and Christian teaching that call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
     •Humanist teachings that counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
     •Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
