Advent

Every year, as we prepare for Advent, I like to remember resources from the past that are still very useful.

For instance, the booklet “Imagine Peace” from the World Council of Churches, a resource full of songs, prayers, and other useful pieces for Advent that was published under a creative commons license so it’s free for people to use.

Or these alternate lyrics to my favorite Advent hymn, O Come, O Come Emmanuel, which have been edited to be more reflective of recent biblical understanding (and thus less offensive to our Jewish sisters and brothers).
