Blue Christmas Once again we take a pause in the Christmas preparations to acknowledge the difficulty the season can present for those lonely, in pain and experiencing loss. We each hope for peace and strength to bear those parts of Christmas that are hardest for us and call to mind those we miss most acutely at this time of year. |

An Unexamined Tradition... ...is not worth continuing? Socrates said that "an unexamined life is not worth living" and American Unitarian said that "an unexamined faith is not worth having". We look at the role of tradition in our lives, our faith and our institutions. |
