SUMMARY:Peace On Earth and the Politics of Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Can we liberate Christmas from its cultural captivity and rediscover the truly prophetic story that speaks to the crises of our world today? \nPeace On Earth and the Politics of Christmas\nSaturday morning\, December 5\n9:30a.m. – 11:30 a.m.\nProject HOME\, 1515 Fairmount Avenue\n  \nThe celebration of Christmas is often wrapped in innocent 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. Will O’Brien\, coordinator of The Alternative Seminary\, will be leading us in reflections on the “nativity narratives” in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke to see how they express core biblical themes of justice and prophetic confrontation with empire. 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 (or whatever you can afford).\nFor those who aren’t in the Philadelphia area\, this event will be LIVE-STREAMED Go to www.redletterchristians.org to see it. \nCo-sponsored by The Alternative Seminary\, The Simple Way\, Red Letter Christians\, Catholic Peace Fellowship\, Circle of Hope\, the House of Grace Catholic Worker\, Brandywine Peace Community\, and Bartimaeus Cooperative Ministries \n
