The Real Jesus

I am often asked if Unitarian Universalists celebrate Christmas and, if so, how do we do that? And, I am often frustrated by the assumption that we don’t believe in Jesus. I suspect that most of us believe there was an historical figure named Jesus. I would bet money that most Unitarian Universalists also believe that the world would be a very different place if more of us truly embraced what Jesus embodied. This morning, with help from some wise others, I will attempt to give you a picture of the real Jesus, the one who too often gets lost in our culture’s commercialization of his life.
