For many, the festive season each year is a difficult and challenging time. More so this year with Covid as many of us face losses arising from the pandemic: loss of employment; loss of financial certainty; loss of connection to others due to social restrictions; and the loss of loved ones whose lives were taken by the virus.

Unitarians in Edinburgh are holding a unique programme of online services acknowledging the challenges of the season.

The programme begins this Sunday 13 December, 11am, with an online gathering entitled ‘Blue December’ where time, space and care is given to honouring what we’re with. There will be candle lighting, readings, music, and an opportunity for your voice to be heard, to share how you are.

Minister of Unitarians in Edinburgh, Rev. Peter Fairbrother says: “So many of us put on a brave face during the festivities, bottling-up how we feel.

“This can be tremendously damaging both to ourselves and to those around us given that the eventual outcome is often meltdown or explosion. Unitarians in Edinburgh seek to create a safe space where individuals are seen and heard on their own terms, not judged nor ‘fixed’.

“We are a diverse community of spiritual explorers, drawn from many different backgrounds, and everyone is welcome to come to our free online services. Simply come as you are.”
