My 13 year old visited a Unitarian church with a friend recently. I asked her what they talked about in Sunday School. She replied, "giraffe heroes" (they stick their necks out for other people).

By the way, they drove a Unitarian family out of town around here last week. They burned a question mark in their lawn. A fellow complained that Unitarians never mention Jesus in the church. My friend turned to him and said, "Not, so! I heard him mentioned last Sunday when the janitor fell down the cellar stairs." Incidentally, last Sunday a busybody on the ferry to Nantucket annoyed passengers by asking them what church they attended. He berated most in a rather insulting manner and was about to be tossed off the fantail when he asked one fellow who responded he was Unitarian. The man shouted, "I admire you Unitarians, dammit. You don't believe in a goddam thing, and you practice it every day of the week, including Sunday." That's all from here. Happy New Year to you, Judy, and all.
