Advent 4, 2014

For this Advent we have four different preachers who are all part of St Hilda's Church. There was no specific theme or brief beyond, of course, 'Advent' itself.

Advent 4 

• "Think the unthinkable" was a mantra of Margaret Thatcher's day
• and, as Christians, we ordinarily think the unthinkable: that Jesus is God made flesh.
• This is God's world: he made it, walked in it, loves it, yet we spoil it for short-term gain. We are God's creation, yet we dehumanise one another and treat people as commodities.
• For Christians to "think the unthinkable" is to act to make real God's love in God's world.
