I have belonged to the Unitarian Church for many years, and since we do not have a creed, we are very aware that one of the main reasons for belonging to a Church is to belong to a community. And that is why I have been a member for as long as I have. I have single friends who do not have a community, and they are definitely lacking something in their lives. One of them shot himself last year, not wanting to go on with life as he was living it. I often think that a cmmunity would have helped him.
Tony grew up loosely connected with the Church, by the way. At least they let him believe what he wanted...
