I ask because it might offend Universal Unitarian sensibilities to read from the Gospel during church. That might offend the Wiccans, atheists, Humanists, Hindus, etc. in attendance.

Yes, I do know what UU is, it's principles, etc. I was just reading the UU website article Our humanist legacy:

""Perhaps in no denomination but Unitarianism, with its aversion to creeds and dogmas, could such a frankly nontheistic movement as religious humanism have arisen without provoking a schism…"
I guess if the Gospel were read in church from a atheistic-tolerant point of view it would be acceptable, or maybe if balanced with Humanist reading, Certainly not any requirement for the exclusivity of Christian Scripture or the divinity of Christ would conform to UU principles. Be happy to hear your experience relative to (Christian) scripture reading in your church.

I asked you to defend the proposition that the entire Bible was read during Mass. I was kind enough to extend it to "a 10 year" period.

Still ducking?
