The Alternative Seminary Invites you to Peace On Earth and the Politics of Christmas
The celebration of Christmas is often wrapped in innocent, feel-good, Hallmark-card imagery. But in fact the biblical texts describing the coming of Jesus are making powerful assertions about the politics of the Bible that speak very much to our contemporary global crises. We will reflect on the “nativity narratives” in Gospels of Matthew and Luke to see how they express core biblical themes of justice and liberation. We will try to “un-domesticate” these tales of liberation and reflect on how they are truly challenging us in terms of our allegiance and our discipleship. A perfect event for Advent. A light breakfast will be served. A $5 donation is requested to cover costs.
(NOTE: This is a repeat of a popular program offered last Advent.)
Connecting
We began very much because of our "come & see" approach to Christian living. Over the years, we have found some ways of coming & seeing are more helpful than others. We want you to connect with us and here is how you can!
