UUs: Are we REALLY that open minded?

As a fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, we bring the diversity of our religious backgrounds and of our current faiths to the larger group. We often take pride in how open we are to those with differing thoughts and beliefs. But just how open minded are we, really? Several times already this year, many of us have felt a bit "prickly" when our guest speakers talk about their connection to God, their belief in Angels or other signs that they put faith in anything other than tangible matter. Why does this happen? What does it do for us to react this way? And what might it keep us from achieving? We'll share anecdotes, hold an informal discussion, and hopefully come away more like the open-minded people we think we are. Marnie Karger, and others from the Building Your Own Theology group will facilitate this program.
