The Donkey (A Non-Canonical Christmas, 2/3)
There is no donkey in the official story of Jesus’ birth. But just try setting up a creche or nativity scene without one. We all know Mary rode a donkey to Bethlehem, even when she didn’t. But how can this imagined donkey help us re-imagine our own role in the story of divine love? Because we do have one. You have one! Part of our "Non-Canonical Christmas" sermon series for Advent, examining Christmas characters who aren't in the Bible... but maybe should be. (Micah 6:6-8)
