“Christmas Tradition,” Rev. Brian J. Kiely, 8 Dec 2019 - a podcast by Unitarian Church of Edmonton (UCE)

I'm a fan of Christmas, and love the traditions. Looking back, I realize that even holiday tradition (for me) has changed, adapted, morphed, been rediscovered or dropped entirely. Perhaps tradition should be only what we make it.

The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is a liberal, multi-generational, religious community. We celebrate a rich mosaic of free-thinking, spiritually-questing individuals joined in common support and action. We welcome diversity including diversity of beliefs from divine believers to humanists, from pagans to atheists and agnostics. We believe in the compassion of the human heart, the warmth of community, the pursuit of justice and the search of meaning in our lives.

We gather with gratitude on traditional Cree lands that are now a part of Treaty Six and shared by many nations. A treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility and a relationship. May we be good neighbours to one another, good stewards to our planet and good ancestors to our children.
