I walked in got a pamphlet and sat down. No friendly welcome, no “Hi, how are you?” The two ladies were talking amongst themselves handed me a pamphlet and not a word to me at all. They just kept talking about teaching. As I sat I enjoyed the message of inclusiveness. However, that’s all it was besides how to be silent and imagine yourself as your food, and be the moment of the food. Very Very Very enlightened based. I’m a single mom that works hard, I’m a lesbian, I’m struggling. They were no meaty passionate messages of hope, faith, how to deal or be a better you. Just a quiet, silent, very quiet and silent long long message of imagining a tangerine traveling and a bite of food in your mouth. You want more members, be more practical and so some passion for what this church stands for. I want to belong to something bigger than myself, something strong. I don’t want to hear about mindful eating, and neither does any other struggling parent. This is not a strong church. It’s a silent one.

My children and I found DUUF to be a loving and diverse fellowship. We began attending three years ago and have loved the services and children's program. From the very first visit immediately felt like my home.It has been a safe space for our ongoing search for purpose,value, and spiritual depth. I love the community dearly. There is so much put into the children's program for all ages. There is a loving nursery and strong spirit play classes where my boys have learned principles from everyone deserves to be treated fairly and kindly to caring for the earth. I can not wait to see them growing to the middle school and high school programs. This is a wonderful congregation to raise children with.

This is the most accepting, beautiful church I have ever been to. There are groups here of Buddhists, Pagans, Liberal Xians, Athiests, Secular Humanists, GLBTQAs and more. Everyone gets along and we all learn from and support one another. We are on many different paths, and DUUF is at the crossroads
