Mayflower Congregational Church UCC, Englewood Colorado

I'm atheist and vehemently anti-Christian but this is a church I'd go to.

[quote]Mayflower Church is a progressive church with a traditional feel. With God’s grace, we seek to be a congregation that lovingly includes all persons and actively embraces difference of sexual orientation, gender, marital status, age, mental and physical ability, race, ethnicity, economic condition and opinion. We worship in our historic church at Acoma and Cornell in Englewood. Our sanctuary dates to 1910, making us the oldest church in town! Come see us on Sundays at 10 a.m., or watch us online. For more information about our church, visit: mayflowercolorado.org/ For more information about the United Church of Christ, visit: www.ucc.org/

And I forgot to mention that the news report I just saw about them stated that they get tons of hate mail.

From Christians.

United Church of Christ, generally speaking, is a very gay friendly denomination. They are (arguably) the most gay friendly of all the mainline still-believe-in-the-Holy-Trinity Christian churches.

They'd certainly be welcoming and friendly, but there would be a lot of mentions of God, Jesus, the Bible, etc.

Unitarian Universalism is sort of the yin to UCC's yang in some ways - also liberal - but they do not insist on anyone believing a creed or believing in God. They have instead shared principles. They have some similar rituals, and the services feel somewhat traditional in a way that anyone who's been to a Christian service would recognize, but they rarely mention God, and if they do, it's sometimes phrased as "the God of your understanding."

I decided to be a UU because I just felt it was a better fit for me personally. But if I wanted a more God and Jesus heavy service and faith practice I certainly would have selected UCC.

I have a progressive friend who belongs to the Congregational Church. I’m Jewish and we have quite a few gay people who have converted. I’ve attended a UU church with a friend and was comfortable there.

My therapist goes to a UU church. He tried to get me to go and I went twice, but I realized I didn’t need any form of religious structure in my life.
