Third Sunday of Advent

“What would happen if God interrupted us? If this coming we talk about with some regularity actually happened, without notice as predicted? What in our world would change? What fears would be dispelled? What injustices overturned? Those aren’t my own questions, but those of a theologian, Anne Stewart, who, I believe poses them perfectly.  I believe each and every one of us is all too aware of the great injustices that are rampant in this world today. The evils. The real and present fear that we live in today, whatever your political persuasion may be. And without fail, just when the violence, the brokenness of our world seems to be getting beyond our comprehension, something even more incomprehensible happens, even if it’s the frequency with which reports of shootings, hate-filled diatribes, you-name-it occur.”
