A reminder to stop navel-gazing

During Advent we prepare to celebrate the Logos’ entrance into God’s own creation. Nevertheless, many Christians look into their own select, constricted mirrors, as if the Holy Incarnation and human rights are mutually-exclusive. So, wouldn't it be proper (if not commendable) to adorn a Christmas tree with the UN emblem, or an evergreen wreath with the WCC’s logo?


When confronted by crimes against humanity, unvoiced insurrection against evil and self-serving apologetics garner no hope for any of us, gay or straight, Christian or other, humanity or creation. The Gospel is about human rights, even when humans get the Gospel wrong.
