Scriptures Reworked: Jesus to Paolo model social justice

This December 25th, celebrate the model of diversity that was the nativity:

A single, homeless mum gives birth
in a byre to 
a middle-eastern visionary,
supported by
a companion and future step dad for her son;
witnessed by blue collar workers and crofters,
in the middle of a political storm,
and honoured for her courage
by three wise astrophysicists from
three distinct cultures,
travelling without fossil fuels.
The animals provided heat for the night,
and the single,
homeless
mother is celebrated
for her rigour for 
centuries.

This December 25th, celebrate difference, and the courage it takes to ameliorate oppression.

“The more radical the person is, the more fully s/he enters into reality so that it can be transformed. This person is not afraid to confront, to listen, to see the world unveiled. This person is not afraid to enter into a dialogue with all people.” ~Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
