Yes, I had some co-workers talk me into going to the UCC in our area. A lot of my old co-workers go there. I went and I had a major panic attack. It was the 100th anniversary of the KJV or something and they read
Acts 2 out of the KJV! And when the preacher read about them talking in tongues a couple of women were like amen! That's right! Well this really made me mad because I think they would give Pentecostals down the road. This was really before I was ready to be there and face this. My whole back and shoulders were sore after I left all day long and I, of course, didn't tell anyone how I was feeling. They wouldn't have understood any of it.
In my opinion, from what I saw, I feel like the UCC is
too liberal for my taste. What I mean by this is the feeling I got from my co-workers is that it was "wrong" to be conservative. I want to go to a church that is
inclusive. By this, I mean not anti-conservative. If the church includes people of all stripes, fine. But I don't want it thrown in my face. Because I believe that some people have genetic issues that cause them to have issues with gayness, I want a church that does not judge them, even if they choose a same sex relationship. But I would not want to sit under a gay pastor (my choice) and I don't want gay rooty-toot-tootin going on around me either. Some people are superior because of their conservationism and some because of their liberalism. I want to go to a church that accepts people as they are in humbleness. I want women accepted into the ministry, but I don't want to live around flaming feminism. You see what I mean? I lean conservative, but I have learned to be more open minded about others. That doesn't mean I want it shoved down my throat and made to parade around about how right I am.
So, anyway, that is my take on the UCC, my impression. I could be wrong. Have you tried one?
