Personally, I think these people get a negative rap for no reason, you should give them a try if you’re up for new experiences and want to explore how people celebrate religion.  They’re open to basically everyone, so don’t feel alarmed if you don’t fit their “mold” because I’m sure they’ll tell you there isn’t one.  Also, they gave me one of the better books I’ve ever read – Blue Like Jazz
