We were moving conversations about God and faith and towards that anyways, and I think COVID doom and struggle and hope—we’re is speeding that up. living those out. In this COVID world Which is where Advent and new we’re in, how should we be entering beginnings become important. New beginnings never come easily. Just ask Advent? Mary, right? Hers came through blood, Advent’s really interesting because we’re sweat, and tears, and a lot of pain. The getting ready for something that’s already other big, central story for us, which is here, in some ways. This is the weird thing Good Friday—same thing. New beginnings about the way the church keeps time: it’s come through a lot of blood, sweat, tears not necessarily chronological time we’re and pain. But from that comes new life. Maybe this keeping, it’s theological time. The idea is The Christmas story is really important, Advent we that we’re waiting for something that has 5 “The won’t be able to come to us, not in the not because a cute baby was born that already happened.

It means, really, when we can’t be together physically? And We’re in an odd situation in the church, something being revealed. The literal I think we’ve learned some lessons on that, because Christmas still has a lot of cultural Greek translation of that is the lifting of the from the beginning of COVID to now.

So, we the cultural and liturgical significance of it. is lifting the veil. It is lifting the veil on the use Advent as a time to get ready for that Here at St. Mark’s, where I minister, way that we interact with each other, the Christmas celebration, whereas for many, Christmas Eve through Christmas Day way that we interact with creation, and that Christmas is an end, in and of itself. we can get over 1,000 people through the the way that we’ve handled creation and We’re a very “instant” culture; we want door.

You have to register aren’t sustainable; we can’t continue on that conversation about that slowing down, that beforehand. So one of our challenges path. It’s calling into question our political intentional waiting—that things take time, is: how are we going to let people know relationships, our economic relationships, they don’t just happen instantaneously. This outside of the church that you have to our environmental relationships. And it’s points to the idea that Christmas is not an register to come to church now?

I’ve been thinking about this since I drawn back into the story over and over It certainly presents an interesting got your email about Advent and waiting. again. The story is always new. It never just idea that we might come to Christmas, Maybe this Advent we need to not think happens instantaneously; it’s a process, and we have people who are eager to even on the individual level for the so much about what we’re waiting for God show up and participate, and we have to do, but what God is waiting for us to individual believer—like with baptism. to tell them there’s no room in the inn. Baptism is not something that just fixes do; that God is waiting for us to realign us once and for all. It’s the beginning of a I was just thinking that same thing. It will those relationships that we have, to find the journey, and we have to keep coming back be awful ironic if come Christmas worship healing for the brokenness that we know again and again and again in that process. time, we’re turning people away. That’s is very real, that COVID has exposed; Advent is a very countercultural season. kind of an important part of the story. that God is waiting for us to get our act That idea of waiting intentionally, of getting But I think the church is coming to together. It’s not that we’re waiting for God ready, of preparing for something—I think terms, and will continue to have to come to to come and make all this right, but that that’s how we can engage in a conversation terms, with not solely identifying ourselves God is waiting for us to work together to with wider society. as the people who gather in a building for start making it right. worship—that we’re the people of God I don’t think we can do it on our own. I And that might be a helpful who are out there already living our lives, think we do need God. And as Christians, conversation this year. We won’t whether that’s as a staff writer for the we need Jesus at the centre of that. But have the same kinds of secular Anglican Journal, as someone who teaches maybe this Advent, that’s the different school, as someone who’s a plumber, as way that we need to approach the season; gatherings that we’re accustomed to, a kid who is in high school. That’s where that we’re not necessarily waiting for God where Christmas begins with parties we live out our faith. That’s a big challenge to do something. Good theology would sometime around Dec. 10 and ends for us, and increasingly it’s going to be tell us that it’s already been done. Jesus, in at noon on Dec. 25. We might have a hard for parishes to be a group of people the incarnation, on the cross, through the societal need for more of a process. with a church building and a full-time resurrection—it’s done. But we’re still being Definitely. I think this is a Christmas, too, priest and some other staff to help take called to participate in that. So maybe this where we’re going to have to go out and care of them spiritually. That’s very quickly is the season we see that God is waiting for find the people. In some situations, they disappearing. So, what does it mean to be us, not the other way around. g anglican journal • december 2020 9
