I am a member of the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, PA. I was born and raised as a Methodist in a small town in Ohio, the name of which has inspired my choice of my user name. After much searching for my spiritual idenity, I decided that the Buddhist path was most suitable to my beliefs and principles, because it impressed me as being very tolerant, and inclusive of people of all belief systems! I decided that the Unitarian Universalist movement would be a good place for me to follow my chosen path, and to fellowship with others, who hold a variety of differing beliefs!
