White Christmas

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

“Sure, war has its place – in the past.” – Kevin, age 11

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I think we need new carols. No more Christmas songs of nostalgia and sentimentality. No more stable, wise men, star or shepherds, virgin or inn keeper. Just this: You entered human life experience to demonstrate your love for us and to offer freedom from oppressive political, religious, economic and social systems. You reminded us of our importance to you, that all of us are precious, forgiven and encouraged to share the mystery of life with you in the vastness of space and time. You lived and live among us to dispel our fears and announce your peace among those who know their oneness with you and with one another. I think you would welcome more such carols. I know I would.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

I’m a conservative – religiously, politically and economically.”

[No. They were the ones responsible for His execution]
