Best Church
(Sept. 22, 2011) Come Christian. Come Jew. Come Atheist. Come Pagan. Come Humanist. Come You. Come All Of You. “We, as a Fellowship,” say the Humboldt Unitarian Universalists, “affirm our covenant to explore and embrace openly the fundamental mysteries of existence, to nurture a sense of family, and to enhance the quality of life for ourselves, our children, and the larger community.”
They’re religious pluralists. And monotheists. Keen on social justice and world peace and marriage equality and neighborly love and all that good stuff. Maybe not some folks’ cup o’ tea. But clearly absolutely the cup o’ Joe for most folks who voted.
Second Best Church: Catalyst (on account of the beer)
Prissiest Answer: “Really? That’s just wrong.”
— Heidi Walters
