Hold on here, for those of you who reject conservative mainstream/old
school denominations & faiths, why not attend a Unitarian Universalist
congregation?? LOL

I have attended Unitarian services a few times, and they definitely teach ethics
(special classes for the children) & also have fun social gatherings.  I am
very impressed with what I have heard about their "OWL" training
program to teach kids about sex.
