Re: Do you belong to a church, synagogue or other house of worship?

No, we don't. When we go to synagogue, we go with our families for the holidays. I feel really guilty about not going to Shabbat services since we've been married. The problem is that we like Friday night services, and neither of the Conservative shuls near us have family Friday night services, just really early ones that Brad can't make after work. We can never motivate ourselves to go on Saturday mornings. IMO, there's no reason to pay membership dues until we have kids who need to attend Hebrew school anyhow.

Yes, I belong to the same (Catholic) Parish I grew up in. I am the third generation of our family, to belong to it. DH is also Catholic, but only attends on Holidays.

Re: Do you belong to a church, synagogue or other house of worship?

There was a whole to do about this for my family. NO synagogue would take us cause my husband was catholic. Including reform. I am more religious then him and it was a whole to do I posted about it awhile ago on LIW. Right now unfortunately I do not go anywhere. I used to go all the time on fridays. You would think reform would be no problem but to explain it again would be to long. Unfortunately My children are suffering for it. At this point I feel its whatever you believe in your heart. Sad to say but what else to do. Anyway small vent over

Re: Do you belong to a church, synagogue or other house of worship?

Actually this post just reminded me that we need to join the (Catholic) parish near our house that we moved to in our new neighborhood. I've been meaning to do it, and just haven't. Chat Icon
So to answer the question, we have one we go to, but don't officially belong to.

We currently do no belong to a church. Neither me or FH are really religious. Maybe once we have kids we will return to the church.

I technically don't "belong" to a church, but have every sacrament I ever received in the church that we are getting married in.

yes, but we never go...

thank god we're still registered, though because my cousin asked us to be Godparents and we need to get a letter from the church saying that it's okay

Re: Do you belong to a church, synagogue or other house of worship?

I'm the "other".

DH is ethnically Jewish and I was raised Catholic (elem and hs too... still recoveringChat Icon ). While we disagree on many of the tenants/dogma of both of our religions we are very spiritual and see the validity/sanctity in all religions (Who knows which one is really the way?). We also found so many religions, including ours, to be very exclusive and not as welcoming of other faiths as they llike to think they are (I was not making DH convert, sign a paper saying I would raise our kids by my religion or anything like that). Sure they say love your neighbor but then they call others "heathens", etc. for not following their specific rules (so many religions do this).

We wanted our future children to have a spiritual community that respects the validity of all religions and teaches them about the religions of the world (so they can see they have more in common than not), does A LOT of work in the community (puts their money/time where their mouth is) and is welcoming of interfaith couples while still providing us with a structured spiritual community guided on universal principals.

So we attend the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Huntington. The Rev. there performed our wedding ceremony.
