If I am not an official member, the reason is because:
| This item is not applicable to this Responder (see previous response immediately above) . |
| I might still eventually join - I just need time and space. |
| I am a devout agnostic on the best of days. |
| The church is more Christian than I like. I was raised UU, but my home church was more Humanist and Jewish-influenced. |
| i don't think I've been a part of the Parish long enough to know what joining would really entail. |
| I have some doubts, not about FPC so much as about organized religion in general. |
| I'm planning to be a member of |
| I do not like the services, find the minister uninspiring, feel the congregation is disconnected from the larger community, and find the social justice activities to be focused more on charity than social justice and progressive social change. |
| I'm not sure how to get involved. I've always liked what FP stands for but have not found a place where I can feel connected. I've tried for years to be a consistent participant, but lose the thread because I can't feel connected. |
| Still ambivalent about church's theology; also some RE difficulties |
| I'm not sure it is right for me to join at this point. |
| I feel as though I should participate in sessions to learn about the church b/f doing so and haven't found the time to do so. For many years, I was unable to attend regularly so it didn't make sense. This has changed. |
| I've only been going to church for about a month and there is no opportunity to join until March. |
| the importance of membership lies in personal dedication and contributions of time and energy (and money) - not in a ritual/ceremony |
| I will join next time. I just missed the date last time. |
| I'm new, and still trying to decide if I want this community to be my permanent spiritual home |
| I'm not ready to commit to it yet. I think I will, but can't say I plan to at this time. |
| I feel tied to my Jewish identity and struggle with being UU and Jewish together, and organized religion all together. So I feel joining as a member would be a statement I'm not quite ready to make about my affiliation. |
