Celebrating Christmas with Family and Christ in a Consumer Age

Christmas is a greatly anticipated holiday in America each year, but now some cannot think about it unless there are extravagant gifts. In this podcast, we interview Rev. Dr. David McKinley, Senior Minister of Central Schwenkfelder Church, about the origins of the Christmas holiday, the excesses of the holiday, how some wanted to ban it, and then some of its best aspects. We then ask him how we might be able to have a more family and Christ centered Christmas this year. #familyChristmas #ChristcenteredChristmas #originsofChristmas #historyChristmasCentrally Speaking is a ministry of Central Schwenkfelder Church in Lansdale, PA USA.
