I need some advice. My church has a tradition of erecting a Chrismon tree in the sanctuary in December. (The Chrismon tree is essentially a Christmas tree with supposedly Christian symbols hanging on it. But really, it's just another form of syncretism.)
This tradition preceded our current pastor's arrival when the church was a "community church". He also inherited the elders who were in place at the time. This was a few years ago. We now have some Reformed elders in the session and I want to propose that we cease the Chrismon tree tradition.
Am I wrong? I'd appreciate any thoughts regarding whether Chrismon trees are legit and whether your churches use these types of symbols.
Thanks in advance.
