CBC Radio included a commentary on advertising campaigns and approaches used by different churches, and included a comment that, as much as most young people support the positions of the United Church of Canada on issues such as homosexuality and the environment, most also perceived the United Church as having no clear beliefs.  This provoked me to reflecting on what I thought could go in a belief statement by the United Church.

The author of this is "Anonymous", but I wish I had written it.  I value this as much as I hold it to be true, and am thankful it was sent to me:

Affirmations of Christmas

 Ok, for my first blog EVER on WonderCafe, I'll be telling the world about my beliefs. Start out big, eh?
