Pope Francis: Christmas at the Nativity—a reading by The Rev. Kenneth Tanner
This Advent season we want to share with you meditations drawn from our newest book by Pope Francis, Christmas at the Nativity. Each week we will send a video featuring an excerpt from the book along with a meditation by a Christian leader.
This week Kenneth Tanner reads the excerpt "The God that becomes a Child" and invites us to admire the miracle in which "The One who is timeless and omnipotent and changeless makes himself vulnerable and contingent to all the natural forces he breathed into existence, and somehow in time and space, his creatures, lays helpless in a feed box, dependent on Mary and Joseph for nourishment and shelter."
"Ecumenism matters because it is an obedience of Love" With these words Rev. Karen Petersen Finch explains why ecumenism matters. Karen will be a part of the Grassroots Ecumenism Summit, an online gathering on October 1st that will deepen your commitment to Christian unity and will provide new ways to build ecumenism in your local community.
