Reconstructing Advent: Week 3

Virgin birth, shepherds visited by angels, and apocalyptic scriptures depicting thieves in the night – how do we reconcile these traditional faith narratives with our evolving spirituality? Over this series we will delve into these intriguing questions as we journey through the weekly lectionary readings. We invite you to be part of these very real and heartfelt conversations, exploring these themes together.

This week, Anna and Ben Hammond along with Benjamin Jay Thomas share insights about Luke 1:46-55, otherwise known as Mary's Magnificat, and how the subversive song from more than 2,000 years ago can inspire us today.
