For more than thirty-five years, Kay Gillespie has been delivering (and causing a stir) with his annual Anti-Claus lecture. His part tongue-in-cheek presentation, part in-your face lecture explores the inconsistency of celebrating the birth of Christ while at the same time presenting the antithesis to Christ in the guise of Santa Claus. Why would those interested in teaching about Christ begin their sacred relationship with their children by telling a lie that they later must unteach? Sunstone is pleased to have Gillespie present his (in)famous lecture to its audience. Come prepared to be entertained and challenged as Gillespie explores these and other issues about Santa, Christ, and parental trust.
