THE BIBLE’S Christmas story is about people at risk and on the edge of things.
It is a story about men and women who were far from being the movers and shakers of their day, and a stressful and unwelcome journey taken under duress by a heavily pregnant woman to a government registration point.
Tragically, it ends with children being massacred and a family forced to flee as refugees ... and it all sounds painfully contemporary and familiar.
