Reimagine Advent. Discover The Liberating Christ.
Created by the Rev. Dr. B. Yuki Schwartz, these worship resources enable a local church pastor and laity to design an Advent according to an unaccustomed understanding of Jesus as the scion of a poor and disempowered family, born in his father’s homeland, which had been occupied by imperial Rome. Here, Jesus is a Brown child, born in Palestine, whose family has to flee their homeland because his very identity as the child of God challenges the majority-Roman authority.
The resource includes a reflection entitled, “A Colonized Christmas,” by Rev. Dr. Miguel de la Torre.
