This Sunday is the second Sunday of Advent, when we consider Peace. We will be reading about John the Baptist and Isaiah’s vision of peace, which preceded the life of Jesus (and John the Baptist) by about 700 years. Isaiah’s vision is as radical now as when he first shared it: predator and prey lying together, one-time enemies coexisting as friends.
The justice-infused peace we seek in the world can only manifest if there is peace within. Peace within an individual eventually scales up to the whole world—but only if we tenaciously hold onto this radical vision.

_________________________________
Our worship each Sunday is intended to be a collective experience, a communal practice. We might step into whatever is our sanctuary, each one of us as individuals, and yet as we assemble, from wherever we are, we become a people, drawn together through song and prayer, through word and ritual, and through the Spirit who breathes through it all, through us all. One and the same Spirit uniting us breathing us into life!
