Was wandering how inclusive UnUvs really are. Ive been having a hard time adapting to our new church and was doing rsearch and felt that UnUvs more a proper fit.
Little info: Currently I am attending an Episcopalian church, with my partner who thinks its the greatest thing. I on the other hand am more Spritualist/Pagan and find it hard to adapt.
Any info would be greatly appricated.

UU's are very open minded and if I remember correctly, they ordain people online to perform legal marriages in America.
I see your point though... I was raised Episcopalian by my divorced (and remarried) Episcopalian parents, and they were both church organists in the Episcopal church. I spent more time in the church and choir loft than at home LOL. But now as an adult I've left Christianity for Paganism, for many reasons... too much to get into here.
And yes, I'm an organist too, but in another Protestant denomination.

LOVE!!!! The UU church. Spent ten years in one. Got married to my beloved in it. The only reason we do not attend now is that we both work Sundays.
They are wonderfully inclusive and offer so many ways to serve the community. I served on every committee that would have me!
If you are pagan, you might also look into CUUPs, the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans.
Good luck!
:)

Former UU here. I found it very inclusive. Basically it's a community of people supporting one another in their personal quests for spiritual truth. Naturally , they have to be very accepting of personal differences. You would probably like it. It's also a very no-pressure environment, so you probably will not find it uncomfortable to go just to check it out.
This probably isn't relevant to your situation, but in my opinion, it's also a great church to raise kids in. The children/youth groups mainly focus on educating kids on different cultures and belief systems. Any moral beliefs they teach are basic humanitarian ones, with an emphasis on respect for differences and tolerance. They provide fun activities and community for kids without religious dogma.

Check out the UU Association of UU Churches. You can find a local church. Just go sometime and check it out. I have friends of various beliefs (including Pagan/Spiritualist) who attend one of the local UU churches. They love it.

This site has a place where you can find the church nearest to you. :)

Oops, I thought 'unitarian' was 'urination' and I was going to say, "well, yes, urination is a universal thing, but why do you want to know, you pervert?"
Well, now that I have just wasted everybody's time, I wish you all a good evening.

They're very open-minded, intelligent people who subscribe to no ONE particular faith... but are open to just about any philosophy/concept that leads to growth, wisdom, altruism, etc. Sounds like you'd fit nicely.

sounds like you don't really care, you probably are not going to be comfortable anywhere your 'partner' likes... :)
