I have gone to Unitarian churches before and like them. There is one 25 minutes from here that I plan to visit soon.

You're probably right using the word "inroads" since it's pretty clear I'm not going to meet any liberals at my fenceline, lol. But yes, maybe I'll meet some in town who do live out this way or know others libs who do. I've been so busy getting my home fixed the way I want that I haven't done enough socializing in town. Winter is a good time to hang up the farm tools and get out more.
