I went last year to a U.U. church. It was a pretty cool experience. The first part of the meeting was for the kids, they pulled them up to the front and told them a story, then they all walked away to kids class while the sermon was given for the adults. It was a good sermon too. It hit me at a time when I couldn’t find meaning without god, but helped me see how I could find meaning whether I believed or not. I also had a good experience at a CofC church, which was kind of like a U.U. church except with open historical discussion about LDS history. They were super friendly and gave me hugs and had snacks to eat during the lesson. I refused their coffee and it came out that I was a “Brighamite.” Kind of funny, one of them said “Oh, you’re a Mormon!”
🙂 Up until then I didn’t know they didn’t refer to themselves as Mormons also. I was drawn in by their overwhelming respect for church historians, open and candid discussions, and their sense of advocating for civil rights.I wish I could visit other churches from time to time and expand my community. I am not in a position to do that right now. I strongly believe that there are churches out there that would actually help my son enjoy church, and therefore benefit from going. Our church’s primary is very childish and I don’t blame him for finding it boring. I did too when I was young.
Anyway, I don’t really have advice for you, I’m just envious that you have the freedom to try out other churches. Though I don’t think it’s bad to go to LDS church if you feel more comfortable going there. Nothing wrong with that.

Well said, Robby.
