My son is 15 and I have yet to find a home for him at any of the UU churches near me. Of course, he is welcomed and loved, but there are no high school groups that he can feel at home in.Gregory Dudzienskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923573709084439967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-14764577630807657652010-10-30T20:59:23.574-04:002010-10-30T20:59:23.574-04:00Hi - I am the young adult who writes the Thoughts ...Hi - I am the young adult who writes the Thoughts On blog that you linked to.

It was very candid and every board/congregation should read and consider it. It also gave me some insight about how my sons (both young 20's) must feel about the advice they get, and probably feel isn't relevant to them either! <br /><br />Cinti momAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-53353850834197369372010-10-17T14:18:04.878-04:002010-10-17T14:18:04.878-04:00Well, I'm not a very young twentysomething, or...Well, I'm not a very young twentysomething, or indeed a twentysomething at all, at this point. And I certainly degree that the Aunt and Uncle feel isn't for everybody. <br /><br />It's a weird paradox in that if there's a critical mass of young adults, one doesn't get that feeling because individual young adults no longer stand out. But getting a critical mass of young adults is very difficult when you don't have very many and everyone feels that they will stand out. <br /><br />CCChalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-45208410375136267032010-10-16T23:51:15.127-04:002010-10-16T23:51:15.127-04:00CC,

My theology, my experiences, my life has been filled with Unitarian Universalism for 100% of my life. Yet, my opinions have less value in UU congregations because of my age.<br /><br />I respect your feeling of having hundreds of aunts and uncles, but have to disagree. I feel pushed to perform when attending a congregation. And I don't think that's the way to promote our faith, retain our young adults, or experience Unitarian Universalist theology.Barthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01141816024425876306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-51878809945496816172010-10-16T11:43:53.932-04:002010-10-16T11:43:53.932-04:00Thanks for your comments, CC.

We need to see it as a community problem, one which all of us can and should respond to.<br /><br />As to the second piece ... I can certainly see where the author is coming from. I remember often being the youngest person in a given group, and being treated much the same way as this individual recalls.Desmond Ravenstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731355272768955344noreply@blogger.com
