"Many of us have traditions surrounding the Christmas season. The time we go and get the Christmas tree. Carol singing. Family parties and dinners. Decorating the house with lights. Our faith tradition offers ways of grounding this season as well, beginning long before Christmas in the season of Advent. Advent is an opportune time for we who care for Creation to re-situate our hearts away from consumption and towards compassion and care." Matt Humphrey, Director of Theological Education, offers us some helpful ways to reorient our hearts this season.

New blog post! "The practice of paying attention invites us to reconsider our way of being in the world. It invites us to see the connections in all things, and it pushes us to see beyond our fear and sense of isolation."
