Morning mass
I went to mass this morning with my mom and it was an interesting experience--especially given that I had just visited the Unitarian Universalist church in Devon where I was a member for many years. The churches are at polar opposites from each other, ideologically. I'd say the nonsubscribing Presbyterian church we attend now is somewhere in between, maybe midway. Perhaps that is why I felt the same way toward the Catholic and UU services. In both places, I felt disconnected from what was going on but felt sympathy with the people who gathered in each place, seeking the ineffable. I sometimes feel the same way in my own new church. Religion has never been an easy ride for me, but I keep at it. Merry Mystery to you!
