Just curious, anyone of this religion or know of anyone who is who reports such things?
My experience is that most individual UUs have a "primary" religion (typically Christian, but any can be found, including various types of shamanism and neo-paganism) but believe most to all religions are valid (as they're all subjective paths to the same higher reality) so my guess would be individual UUs who have a vision, miracle, or other mystical experience associated with a religious experience would put it in terms of their "primary" (so a UU who was raised Christian might see Jesus, a Wiccan might experience a goddess or even The Goddess, etc). But I've never heard of any. I have of guests who visited a church off & on, but not actual UU members (that is, listed themselves officially as UU).
Anyone care to share someone's UU divine experience?
I'd be especially curious about a UU who had a primary religion yet had an experience with a divinity in ANOTHER religion (especially if the UU didn't change "primaries" as a result).
