“The more I ponder the story of Jesus, the more convinced I am that it’s about a radical inclusivity that threatened and still threatens all who are invested in exclusivity of any kind, but particularly religious exclusivity. Jesus had no time for religion as a definer of tribal boundaries, of who was “in” and who was “out,” of who was “us” and who was “them.” His story still challenges every established religious, political, or social structure that’s vehemently defended to keep insiders secure and pure, and outsiders away. “Those of us who believe the Child of Bethlehem was the Word-become-flesh still have much work to do –challenging and tearing down boundaries and opening windows and doors to all –religiously, socially, economically, and politically.” John Buchanan, the former editor of the Christian Century magazine.
