About this series theme
The Christmas season is time when the juxtaposition of the sacred and secular feels sometimes blatantly opposed, and sometimes quite blurred. The word “sacred” points to something dedicated as “holy” and “set apart.” This year, you are invited to a spiritual journey of seeing ALL things pregnant with the Holy. What could your experience of the Advent and Christmas season be like if we lived it imagining that everything is reflecting the sacred?
This fully-scripted Advent/Christmas series follows the scriptures for RCL Year A and draws inspiration from The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr and the companion devotional book, Every Thing Is Sacred: 40 Practices and Reflections on the Universal Christ, compiled by Patrick Boland.
