Season 1: Seasonal Observances

Rev'ing Up: Answering the Call of Liberal-Religious Leadership

Between Easter, Passover, and the rites of spring, this is a busy time for liberal-religious leaders! At these transitional times of year many of us feel the urge to engage in communal rituals, and lots of Unitarian-Universalist individuals and congregations share in celebrations of Easter, Passover, and the equinox. And of course, Unitarian-Universalism has its own homegrown seasonal traditions such as Water Communion and Flower Communion. As Anthony is away on a retreat for Unitarian-Universalists of color, Carrie and Meagan host today's conversation about the traditions we share and how we seek to celebrate them respectfully.

We send our great thanks to Rev'ing Up listener Allan for sharing this question with us! If there is a topic you would like to see our hosts discuss, please let us know at [e-mail].
