A very Quaker Christmas?
|
|
Our final podcast of the year looks at Quakers and Christmas. We hear about different Quaker takes on the festive season, discuss why Quakers don't traditionally celebrate Christmas (and why they sometimes do now), and explore ways to deal with difficult conversations with family and friends at this time.
On the blog Gill Martin also shares her thoughts on finding the holy in every day in her Quaker reflection on Christmas.
