JASON LYDON
"The Holiday Special:  Finding Comfort in Darkness and Wisdom in Light"

Solstice, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, Kwanzaa, and Yule are all part of
this celebration of transition, birth, survival, and hope!  December 21st
marks the end of days getting shorter and the beginning of a stronger light.
The religious holidays of the month brings us stories of hope and
possibility.  We will gather together in hope while we reflect on the gifts
and blessings of the year, finding comfort in community, and strength in our
capacity to continue to resist tyranny.  While we celebrate the returning of
light we remember the beauty, comfort, and mystery of the darkness.

Jason Lydon is our Congregational Director.  Jason is a seminarian at the
Episcopal Divinity School where he focuses on anti-racist, liberationist
theological perspectives on penal abolition.  Jason is a humanist Unitarian
Universalist with spiritual leanings and a connection to queer ideas of
magic and the miraculous.
