So I don't know whether to laugh or cry about the latest progressive addition to the classic nativity scene: the separation wall.
Either way, I love it.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out Christian Peacemaker Teams' "No Way to the Inn" campaign. Or, to purchase your own little shocker, check out the UK-based charity, Amos Trust, online where you can purchase "A nativity set with a difference ... poignant, ironic, and made in Bethlehem. Available in two sizes." Just imagine what a great conversation starter such a display could be:
Uncle Al: "What is that wall doing separating Jesus from the wise men?"
You: "Well, this year, the wise men were denied security permits."
