					<description><![CDATA[Regarding the article: Why Men Hate Church...

I find that women attend church out of a sense of obligation but are often just as bored to tears as males.  When ritual becomes drudgery, few will want to put themselves through the hassle.  I find nothing wrong with high church per se, but I find everything wrong with staid conformity.     

Say what you will about the megachurches:  they have recognized that most people want to be entertained when they come to service.  And really and truly, what&#039;s wrong with contemporary music?  What&#039;s wrong with guitar, drums, bass, and rock music?  What&#039;s wrong with drama and theatre in place of liturgical gurgling?  

In the old days, people went to church to be entertained by a charismatic and skilled orator known informally as &quot;The Minister&quot;.  We seem to have gotten away from that concept too.    

I personally find the traditional Western European service pretty dull.  As do most young adults.  This is why they don&#039;t come to church...any church, by in large.  There is no commandment written in stone that says Thou Shalt Not Enjoy Church Service.  

It&#039;s regrettable how many UU youth drift away from the faith and only find a true sense of community and unity at cons...not their church home.  Clearly much needs to be changed and it can be changed.  If the members themselves took a more active role in the participation of the service itself then we would retain more people and even *GASP* grow the faith.  

I believe in the &quot;if you build it, they will come&quot; approach.  If someone just got the ball rolling, then other people would add to it.   This new way would ricochet throughout church communities.    

We&#039;re UUs.  We are not bound by creedal requirements or dogma.   We shouldn&#039;t fear that the Devil is going to get us if we change a few things around.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[LOL. See what that damned 16th reformation resulted in! I am personally adopting the title &quot;Christian Humanist.&quot; I&#039;ll wear that one for a bit and see how it fits. :)

If I figure out what Unitarian Universalsim is ... with no hyphens ... I&#039;ll change my outfit asap. Stay tuned. Heh ...]]></description>
