Christmas or Christmyth?

The birth narratives of Jesus found in Matthew and Luke are a form of backward-looking. They were created after the facts of the life of Jesus.

There are two different ways that we humans have viewed the Christmas stories. We either dismiss them as a fairy tale/legend or interpret them literally, as if they really happened. Belief in the literal interpretation became a litmus test for what it means to be a Christian, as in the confessions of faith known as the Apostles' and Nicene creeds.

Minister Ernie Mills would like to offer a third alternative -- a mythical, inner, and spiritual interpretation. In this way, we can avoid throwing Christmas out or taking it literally.

We hope that you will join us. Coffee and conversation will follow.
