A Nativity Scene Without Jews, Arabs, Africans or Refugees
This popped up on my Twitter feed a couple of days ago, another simple and rather clever attempt to connect the gospel story of the first Christmas with events of our time. Prosperous nations around the world are attempting to harden their borders and their hearts against the increasing wave of migrants fleeing oppression, war, and climate disaster. Some of those countries, including the United States, Britain, and Italy purport to be Christian, at least in tradition, yet many of those people who make noises about being Christian are first in line to resist refugees and migrants. Governments in places such as Canada and Germany are feeling the pressure to follow suit.
Perhaps we should use this image as a daily devotional icon through the rest of Advent as an invitation to "dance with the one who brung ya", the God who entered into human existence in the child, Jesus. His peasant Jewish parents were first displaced, then became refugees. We need this reminder on a regular basis.

I agree. I have posted this on my facebook page (I have friends in the USA who are "Christians" but are death set against Mexican immigrants, Muslims, and say nothing about the border cages and separated families .... I just don't understand ! And they are silent in their responses to my postings - or maybe they have unfriended me... I am a "libtard" , after all)
And a thoughtful, compassionate libtard at that. Keep it up Judy!
