Advent: Active, Expectant Waiting
Together with Christians around the globe, we are now in the four-week, ancient celebration of Advent. This season, beginning the new Church year, is a time of communal and personal examination, preparation, and our hopeful, expectant waiting of the coming of God’s justice in the world.
The four weeks preceding Christmas is the in-between time where we learn to settle into the tension between Light and Darkness, present in both our communal and private lives. We acknowledge the courage of both belief and unbelief, and, if we are able, we believe on behalf of others until they are able to believe. We trust the Light has already come and will come again, but for now we hope and we wait.
