I wanted to do a quick post as an update on my possible attendance at a Unitarian Universalist church.
To do a quick summary, my wife & I wanted to ensure our daughter had more interaction with other children, especially in leisure time. My wife also did somewhat miss the church community, especially since she was also a stay-at-home parent for about 2 years at the time.
This led me to investigate attending a Unitarian Universalist church. There was one practically around the corner from our house, but my only hang up was related to what exactly they'd be teaching our daughter.
So I sent an email to the church's contact address and laid out what we believed (atheists, but humanists) and what my concerns were (what was taught about supernatural beings in their kids classes).
To my surprise I got...absolutely no response.
My guess is that they don't really have someone checking the contact email account at the church, which is really odd given what I know about how even small churches operate. I used to be a very active volunteer when I was a believer, even when most of the volunteers were quite old, we had something setup where the email would go to someone who would respond.
Life went on, and then I only recently remembered how odd it was to have never heard back from the church. This caused some reflection in me, and I realized we as a family have nearly zero desire to go to the church anymore and I wanted to elucidate why.

Apprehensions about attending a Unitarian Universalist church
This is a bit of a personal note, but I figured that I could
use an outlet for my angst and that others may find these thoughts useful.
