Sunday, Advent Two - Anxiety & Freedom
“As you know, we live in a fearful society that is devoured by anxiety. And we imagine in our anxiety that there are extreme 'security' measures that will make us safe. But if this is God's world and if the rule of love is at work, then our mandate is not to draw into a cocoon of safety; rather, it is to be out and alive in the world in concrete acts and policies whereby the fearful anxiety among us is dispatched and adversaries can be turned to allies and to friends."
Walter Bruggemann, A Gospel of Hope, page 25.
