...Visit the local church once a month or so even if it's not your faith..
I think that's some of the best advice I've seen anywhere in a long time. At the church I go to, we'd be absolutely thrilled to have anybody from another denomination come by and help with a bake sale, or help the kids with their coloring books on Sunday morning. I couldn't care less if they have a slightly different way of expessing their love for God. Sorry if this is "non-pond", but I think it's applicable strongly to this pond situation.
