Hello all,
I am really lacking community/ friends in my life, thinking maybe church could help me with this. I grew up going to a very very conservative (gay people, people with criminal history, people with tattoos, etc. were completely banned from the church) fire and brimstone, you’re going to burn in hell for breathing the wrong way kind of church. I am very liberal, socialist, queer, and non judgmental (I am a therapist) and I would really like my church to be accepting and preach socialism and preach in a liberal/ progressive way. I do not know if this exists in Alabama, but worth a shot to try. I do tarot and love astrology so I am not sure if I would be condemned for enjoying these types of things within a church. I have a ton of tattoos and often have brightly colored hair. My values are community, love, kindness, and taking care of the people around you. I have not been to church since I was in high school, 6 years ago. I am not sure if I identify with church really, but I am wanting to give it another try.
Thanks :)
EDIT**
Heavy on volunteer work and getting involved with the community
Also I’m 24 so people relatively my age, but majority of my friends are 29-35!
