#AdventWord #House The prophet Isaiah invites us and ‘all the nations’ to go up to the ‘house of God,’ the place where God dwells (Isaiah 2:2). For the ancient Israelites it was the tabernacle, then the temple. For us the place where God dwells may be the church, or the natural world, or the inner depths of our hearts. It is the place to which we must return to learn to live well. Br. David Vryhof, SSJE, is a monk, priest, and community Communications Director of the Society of St. John the Evangelist, an Episcopal religious community for men in Cambridge, Massachusetts. #SalisburyCathedral

#AdventWord #Raise When we raise something, we put it above everything else, make it stronger, better, and more noticeable. What is our focus for all the things that we raise in our own lives: children, questions, concerns, taxes, salaries, walls, fences, money, prayers, and more? Isaiah proclaims that the mountain of the Lord’s house “shall be raised above the hills.” It will draw all people and nations to God. Advent echoes this prophecy and offers us the ability to focus and redirect all that we raise up in the present to the future hope and promise of Jesus Christ. Shelagh Casey Brown is the director of Alumni and Church Relations at VTS and is the president of the Consortium of Endowed Episcopal Parishes board of directors. The #LanternTower at #SheffieldCathedral 'The wooden structure represents Christ's Crown of Thorns and the colours symbolise humanity's struggle and conflict (blue and violet) transformed through the Resurrection and the Holy Spirit (gold and red) into healing and growth (green).'

#AdventWord #Humble “...do justice...love kindness...walk humbly with your God.” These words from the prophet Micah stand in contrast to the ways of the world, where power and self-importance reign, and humility is seen as weakness. As followers of Jesus we are called to lives of humble service, letting go of ego in order to care for the oppressed, love our enemies, and share Christ’s peace with all. The Rev. Canon Loren Lasch (VTS '08) is the Diocese of Missouri Canon for Formation and the president of the VTS Alumni Association Executive Committee. The #CelticCross in #StAidansChapel at #BradfordCathedral depicts people of all times and places in their pilgrimage towards God.

#AdventWord #Time Advent proclaims that time is of the essence. But rather than flying away, the Coming of the King reveals that time keeps slipping into the future. And what will God’s future look like? – the truth, beauty and love of a newborn child that no power on earth can withstand. The Rev. Nicholas Porter is the cofounder and Executive Director of Jersualem Peacebuilders. #Sundial at #ElyCathedral The Greek words at the top read 'Kairon Gnothi', meaning 'Choose the timely moment'.

#AdventWord #Visit In Palestine, visits are not planned or coordinated in advance. Guests just show up at your door. In traditional Palestinian houses, there is a saloon designated for guests and always available. The household always has food and drink set aside for such occasions. So, when the guests arrive, they can enjoy their presence. So, we should always be ready for God to visit. Shadia Qubti is manager and lead for faith and development for World Vision in the Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza branch. #SteelNativity in the #CityOfSteel #SheffieldCathedral

#HappyAdventSunday! 'Advent Word' Global Advent Calendar starts today, run by #VirginiaTheologicalSeminary #VTS for #TheEpiscopalChurch. I will post their English meditations (no Chinese available this year) daily through Advent, but with my own photo, all taken at cathedrals on my visit to the UK last year and early this year. Today's #AdventWord is #Unexpected .... “The Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.” Advent reminds us that accountability (this is what the second coming represents) will be unexpected. It might be the cosmic intervention or it might just be the passing from this life into the next. Either way, the point is simple: Life is precious and short. Are we using the gift of time well? We should treat every second as an opportunity to grow, to forgive, to support someone in need, and to love. The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, PhD, is the Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary. Photo taken at the #LadyChapel in #ElyCathedral
