Most of the people I know here (primarily through work) are either Catholic, nothing, Jewish, or live farther out in the suburbs, but there are a couple of other newer "city" folk (who, like me have relocated from other parts of the country, like the midwest or the south, for jobs in Philly) I've met who have joined me in wondering:

If you're a liberal protestant, where do you go in the city or very near suburbs if you want to meet other like-minded people and find a community where you can feel part of something as a newcomer to Philly? Which churches would have the most people in the 30-something demographic?

This is not the old "where can I go to meet dates at church?" question. When I lived in the south, large churches were teeming with post-college 20-somethings spouse-hunting -- very scary scene. That's not the idea here.
"meet dates at church", yeah that makes me laugh! I was given this piece of "advice" and found that all the single men in church were either gay or senior citizens!

I've also been to Philadelphia Cathedral and it is lovely.
