“Even further afield from Orthodox theology you reach the Unitarian Universalists.”

There’s such a group in the next town over from us. Mostly a sort of mixture of folks, a big GLBTG contingent with some Mohammedans and Bahais. I have no idea what they believe. Nice people, but odd, odd, odd.

I believe UUs accept pagan, polytheists even atheists in their congregation. It sounds absurd for a “church” but...

I think it would be more accurately described as philosophy or “meaning of life” club. About 200,000 members officially last I remember.

Nice people, but odd, odd, odd.

I was briefly engaged to a Greek (Orthodox) woman some years ago. With the exception of the, to me, unnerving idea that her entire extended family felt entitled to be involved in nearly all details of her (our) life they were nice people but odd, odd, odd.

She did have an uncle who owned the best Deli on the North Shore of Massachusetts. I still miss that place. (I'd still go but I now live too far away) :)

I sincerely hope my odd, odd, odd characterization of her family, and by implication, Greek Orthodox people doesn't sound patronizing.
