Hope has two beautiful daughters;
Their names are Anger and Courage
Anger at the way things are,
And Courage to see that they do nothave to remain as they are.
-St. Augustine
We live in two worlds, one world is the world of following Jesus and the other world is the world of being a member of a nation. We would love for the two worlds to match up perfectly. Sometimes there is overlap and often times, not. In fact, many try to force the issue and make that happen by declaring that our nation is ordained by God to do God’s work and thus we are an exceptional nation in the world. The air seems filled today with truths and absolutes, lots of litmus tests for sure.

For the last several years, Bob and I have attended a session on theme of Christmas and the politics in the Christmas story. We come to escape the more prominent Christmas messages in our culture to try to go back in time and reread the scriptures of Luke and Matthew through the lens of that time. So on the link below, I share with you some of what is discussed in our gathering. The gathering is always lively, mainly attended by young people living in small faith communities in Philadelphia and serving as urban missionaries. The politics of Christmas is as relevant now as it was over 2000 years ago.
