My brother has a professional singing gig at a Unitarian Universalist church. He's not a particular subscriber to faith of any kind (which I guess means maybe he belongs in a UU church), but he had this opportunity to further his vocal career.
My parents went to hear him sing two weeks ago. It so happens that a family that lives down the street from my parents attends this church. They are people my parents are friendly with, so my parents sat with them at the service.
At some point in the service, the Pastor-type person asked if there were any visitors, and if there were, could they please stand up so the congregants (or whatever they are called) could welcome newcomers.
My Dad promptly stood, but my mom wasn't real excited about being singled out. So my mom turned to her neighbor Pam and asked,
"Do I have to stand up?"
Pam said to my mom:
"Pat, we're Unitarian. We don't HAVE to do anything."
