IKEA's interpretation of pluralism
Scott Wells in Boy in the Bands talks about a recent trip to IKEA and how they have signs describing every possible holiday.For Christmas, Scott says, 'the sign described it as "the birth of Jesus Christ" and it was observed with "midnight mass or church services." I was amazed at the, well, religiousness of the description.'
He goes on to say "The IKEA promotion has it right: let each holiday be, and let it be itself. Let individuals decided which one he or she would identify with. Pluralism at the cost of integrity and identity is no pluralism at all. Now, can Unitarian Universalists do the same?"
