Jerome Enriquez John: To attend church on Christmas day in insecure regions is an act of courage. To sing hymns in a threatened village is a quiet refusal to surrender identity to terror.

Faith here is not decorative; it is functional, sustaining communities where the stateโ€™s protection is unreliable and justice feels distant. But resilience should never be romanticized to excuse injustice.

Craig Nash: Sadly, the Revised Common Lectionary doesnโ€™t assign a scripture reading to the high holy day of Festivus. If it did, I imagine it would be one in which Jesus called his audience a โ€œbrood of vipersโ€ (Matthew 12:34) or the prophet Hosea referred to Godโ€™s people as โ€œchildren of whoredomโ€ (Hosea 1:2).

Starlette Thomas: "Jesus came down to earth not as a pompous mystery but as an unlikely savior. With Maryโ€™s help, God reached out to us in the arms of a baby. No appointment needed.

The God of the Christian faith tradition is not above being human. Walking among us wasnโ€™t beneath the dignity of the Divine."
