Culture is a mixture of history, religion, shared experiences, living relationships.
It is a fluid thing, with boundaries that may be softer here or clearer there, with layers and variations and changes, different in different regions or for different generations.
But it is something real, a formative part of our human experience.
Culture is something that may not be visible at first glance. But it is real. Ask the Canadians.
It shapes our lives, our thoughts, our language, our dreams in a way that makes us who we are. Ask the Irish.
UUs often try to identify our Living Tradition in terms of "beliefs" and theology, a habit we retain from our dialogue with the Christianity. I think it would be useful for us to begin looking at our tradition more in the way of the Pagan or Indigenous peoples: as the Ways of our People, as observable characteristics of who we are and how we live.
