issues of faith both within the Judeo-Christian tradition, and in inter-faith concerns, Being a "safe" group we have shied away from any vigorous conversation. Many of us who are in "religion" are tired of it having been taken over--in the main--by atheists who use it for the sole purpose of castigating all things religious.. But by '"safe" I don't mean neutral about the issues before the religious world. Limiting us UUs would be a mistake, while the UU position should be a major player here.

How do we encourage those who are interested in the discussion of serious religious issues and values to come aboard?
