The idea of commitment is huge. UU asks far too little of people in allows to join its congregations. Easy in and easy out. "Just sign the book" they say and that's it. It's a pretty ceremony but doesn't mean much. I think joining a UU congregation should be like getting married. A person is taking a solemn vow to be their for other congregation members and the church in better and worse, rich and poor, good times and bad, sickness and health, til death do us part.
