I know one of my favorite UU holiday memories was one Christmas in the 80's
when the wealthy (and, as I recall, somewhat older and generally female) TM
contingent at 1st Unitarian in Providence (R.I.) were threatening to remove Tom
Ahlburn from the pulpit because he was irritating them so with his
faux-Buddhist ways: a joyful Christmas time was had by all (just like here at
FairfieldLife).
