The bible says that Jesus was born in a small Palestinian town called Bethlehem. His Jewish parents were surviving imperial occupation. They were forced to travel back to their ancestral region to register for Caesar’s census. There was no room in the inn. So Mary gave birth to baby Jesus in a stable. This year, it’s even worse. The inn and the stable have been bombed by Caesar – along with the refugee camps, the schools, the mosques, the churches and the hospitals. Baby Jesus is lying in a manger – in the rubble. This year, we will be attending a live-streamed church service from Bethlehem, along with a multitude of others who are anchored in the agape love of Christ – or who are, at the very least, Jesus adjacent. Will you consider joining us in this time of worship, solidarity, mourning and mobilization?

The one I commented above is only a 0:58 second intro loop. Some technical difficulties with YouTube have been happening, so they haven’t officially started yet…but are starting now. If you’ve had tech difficulties getting on, you’re not alone!
