Is Christian literature sometimes distributed with the shoebox?
Yes. But we never put Christian literature inside the shoebox and there is no obligation on a child to take Christian literature before they receive a shoebox. We do work with indigenous community leaders to make literature available to children that contains bible stories, including an explanation of the true meaning of Christmas in their own language,. These are only made available in locations where the local leaders we work with indicate it is appropriate do so – in around 50% of our distributions. No one is obliged to take this booklet.
