I'm grateful to have found you and your fellow Convocation friends. I'm hoping you and God continue to help us make sense of our country and American Christians. Regarding Christmas carols, one of my earliest memories was as a young Mexican immigrant in second grade in a California school. The elementary school band and choir did the Little Drummer Boy as part of the program. I had only begun to learn English in 1st grade the year before. I can almost feel the chills that I felt as they sung that particular song. More recently, listening to Al Green sing O Holy Night, I was struck by the phrase, "Long lay the world in sin and error pining,'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth." My prayer is that the church can lay down its pride and it's nationalism to once again reflect the character of the One who can present so much hope that lost souls will once again feel their worth.
