In a London school a teenager with no church connections hears the Christmas story for the first time. His teacher tells it well and he is fascinated by this amazing story. Risking his friends’ mockery, after the lesson he thanks her for the story. One thing had disturbed him, so he asks: ‘Why did they give the baby a swear-word for his name?’

Do you have any Post-Christendom Christmas stories?
Comments from one of my post-churched friends include, “What’s Adam and Eve?” and, “Who’s Noah?”
