Advent/Christmas

Have you heard of the slow movement? Slow food? Slow living?
I remember celebrating only five holidays in church as a child: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day.
Q
How should we approach Advent in a year of pandemic and racial strife?
For many years our congregation has used an Advent wreath to mark time during the weeks before Christmas.
Writing a column like this means one is always writing with a certain bent toward the future.
Advent is coming, bringing with it the Advent cantata—and our discomfort.
She holds back
as muscle and bone clear a path,
remembering a promise spoken
by a voice only the soul can hear.
