Tis a Shepherd’s Delight (or maybe a Sailor’s Delight)….

This was Qianshuiwan (淺水灣), Sanzhi, this evening after a gloriously sunny weekend!

Yes, it really was this red!

Advent Word 2019, Day 11 'Confess'

#AdventWord #Confess Confess: a beautiful two-sided coin. To confess is first to disclose. The work of Advent includes examining our consciences by taking a fearless look at ourselves and naming before God those actions not in order with our Creator’s call on our lives. To confess is equally to profess our deepest beliefs. This too is Advent work, for a people who live in hope, secure in the knowledge that we are forgiven and free in Christ Jesus. The Right Rev. Scott Barker is the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska and is a member of the VTS Board of Trustees. The #AmnestyInternational Candle at #SalisburyCathedral

#AdventWord #Grace God's grace is tolerant and patient. God's grace gives solace and comfort to all believers and bears them up in the midst of distress. God's grace does not mark what we do amiss. If we seek to share this grace, we must be ready to comfort those who are cast down and to support those who are oppressed. Nedine Manyemba is the Ecumenical Assistant at the Zimbabwe Council of Churches. Celebrating the 900th anniversary of #PeterboroughCathedral

#AdventWord #Root A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots, we read in Isaiah. Just as the branch is rooted in Jesse, God’s living judgment is rooted in righteousness and equity, and the fruit of that righteousness and equity is full knowledge of God in God’s glorious dwelling place. The Rev. Della Wager Wells is the priest-in-charge of Emmanuel Church in Newport, Rhode Island. The South #RoseWindow at #LincolnCathedral, known as the Bishop's Eye

#AdventWord #Worthy Because often we do not value our own worth, we can’t imagine being worthy in the eyes of others. But in this season of Advent, the coming of Jesus casts those negative ideas aside. We are free to claim our worth as beloved children of God through God’s redemptive love and grace. Dorothy Linthicum is a catechist for Baptized for Life and Forma Board member. The Baptismal Font (carved in a large rock brought from the Holy Land) and Baptistry Window by John Piper at #CoventryCathedral.

#AdventWord #Unity In order to have unity, we must have reconciliation. As human beings, we must empty ourselves of all hatred and envy and be filled with love, blessing, and the grace of God. This can only happen when we open ourselves to God’s plan for us and for all humanity and become ambassadors for Christ, seeking to share the message of reconciliation. The Right Rev. Suheil Dawani is the the 14th Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem. #Reconciliation by Josefina de Vasconcellos at #CoventryCathedral

#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'.
