Sadly, this Advent Card Talk is applicable every year...
Turning the Other Cheek(s) (Luke 6:29) [A GUEST CARD TALK]
“We are not called to defeat the violence by participating in it. We are called to subvert the violence by exposing it. This means finding those on the margins, and standing in solidarity with them. When we stand side-by-side with those who are being oppressed, we force the oppressor to use their violence against all of us. This means we must leave the comfort of our own bubbles and entangle ourselves in the lives of those who are oppressed.”
