Many of the people who are celebrating Christmas are putting a lot of pressure on the holiday to 'fix' 2020 and make it better. But will our typical understanding of Christmas actually do anything to help bring us out of this dark year? In this episode, Fiona and her guests use Christmas carols as a means to discuss how this Christmas is in many ways reflective of the first Christmas, and how Christmas is also a time to reaffirm our commitment to building a more just world.
Julia C. Walsh joins Fiona to look at privilege, justice, and life in the new world we walk will into after our communities begin to open.
Every Spring Semester Campus Ministry hosts an event called "Stories of Solidarity" where Le Moyne Students talk about their experiences on their service immersion trips over the Winter and Spring.

On today's episode five Le Moyne students who spent time in New Mexico, Jamaica, and El Salvador talk about what it means to live a life of solidarity and how they see themselves as men and women for others.
