, a ritualistic slowing down led by dudes in robes that reminded me my Christmas presents were close but just out of reach. And with the added liturgy and singing on those four Sundays, I’d have to wait an extra five minutes to grab a glazed doughnut in the back after Mass.The only church tradition that kept my attention back then was the Christmas pageant.
The priest didn’t just pluck a brown-skinned baby from the pews every winter to play Jesus. Throughout the year, a tapestry of a Black Jesus with an Afro hung above the altar, and our church had a gospel choir that sang Kirk Franklin songs, along with a minister of music who got down on the organ. When our white priest wanted to paint an image of Mary and Jesus, he asked my oldest sister to be the model.
: Lose yourself, your Black self, for the sake of unity in Christ. Keep the bond of peace by keeping quiet.

thurris The problem with colonization is that it normalizes the dysfunction of the colonizer. The Catholic Church: genocide, enslavement, abuse of children. No Blk person should be a Catholic. Ever. And the Jesus the yt Christian church gives you is different from the biblical one. Sad.
thurris The first call has been sounded for the decommissioning of the Church with the call to deestablish the Anglican Church in England. 'Forces' games only.' So the fabric so the tunic. Only the tunic is legitimate activity. A.T.A.R., otherwise too slow...

thurris Well obviously because it’s still theatre and theatre is fun. Costumes, music, incense, memorized lines, it’s a big old show.
thurris Why are you racists always trying to segregate people by the color of their skin?

thurris Thank you, thurris, for a thought provoking reflection. The journey to understanding ourselves, especially within the contexts of religion and culture in America, can be full of deep debilitating holes or beautiful enlightened rest stops. May your Advent continue to give light.
thurris Iranian people are still resisting in the streets. Despite all the efforts of the Islamic Republic to scare people and despite the execution of our youth, we have not backed down. Powerful countries should support this revolution and stop the Islamic Republic.Iran
