There are 2 separate #ReformJewish movements in the #UK
* Liberal Judaism (Union of Liberal and Progressive Synagogues)
* Movement for Reform Judaism (Reform Synagogues of Great Britain)
We need to be careful with comparisons because we could be misled by externals while missing core beliefs & #theology: Some UK liberal shuls have prayer services that look more like Conservative Judaism. Yet that's independent of their theology:
Have you used "Gates of Shabbat: Shaarei Shabbat" from #CCAR and the #ReformJewish movement? It is Reform Judaism's classic how-to guide about Shabbat observance and practices. This book is about Shabbat -- the Jewish treasure that comes around every seven days. In the midst of our freedom, Shabbat offers roots and inspiration along with joy and hope.

3. In-person #Jewish community is inaccessible to me. My nearest #Progressive (#ReformJewish) shul is 20 km away. I have #fatigue and mobility issues and I just don't think I could make that trip on a regular basis, and I'm not willing to make a promise that I'll fail to keep.
