More Than "Meek & Mild": Preaching the real Mary
When Mary gazes gently at us from statues, paintings, and icons, what do we see? How do we understand her? Perhaps there's more to Mary than her "meek and mild" representations suggest.
Inspiration for Advent Preaching
As we anticipate, wait, and hope for Advent, I offer a selection of quotations for your preaching and personal reflections. You'll find wise, witty, and wonderful quotes from a variety of voices, from Dietrich Bonhoeffer to Ann Weems and Miles David to George Bernard Shaw, loosely organized into three themes:
Anticipation is the Music of Advent
Waiting is the Experience of Advent
Hope is the Fruit of Advent
I hope these bring as much joy to your spirit as they do to your preaching.
