Rome: A Place of Longing

Dec 1, 2024    Rev. David Petty, CLM Twinkle Gordon, Nathan Nors

Our lives and stories are often shaped by that which is out of our immediate control. This was true in the moment of the Roman decree that would turn into the story of hope for the world. On this first week of Advent, we ask ourselves whether we are placing our hope in the empires of the world, or in the liberating through-line of God’s presence. What are we longing for this Advent, and how does it call us to act with hope?
