Revisiting Advent and Christmas at Sarum College
21 September @ 08:30 - 11:30
Liturgical, theological and pastoral opportunities for Advent and Christmas
As we reach Harvest, our minds will already be turning to how we will observe Advent and Christmas in our parishes and communities, and in our own devotional life.
This half-day online course will seek to revisit the distinctive themes of this wonderful period of the Christian year, focusing particularly on Advent and Christmas, but noting also how this season is connected to those that immediately precede and follow it.
Advent and Christmas have distinctive liturgical opportunities, theological and doctrinal themes that emerge through the Scriptures which we read as we move through the season, and perhaps more opportunity for pastoral engagement than any other time of the year in church, school, home, and the civic environment. It can seem overwhelming as well as wonderful, particularly given the busyness of ministry in our current age. How might we sift and arrange all of these opportunities to deliver an Advent and Christmas that has the potential to really connect?
