The language of Advent has traditionally used images of light and dark and attached value to each of them. Though this language appears in Scripture, our modern usage is intricately tied to race and the value that is placed on skin color in our society. Why should we attend to this language? What are our alternatives? Is there a way to hold beloved traditions and hymnody while striving to love our neighbors? Join members of the Authentic Diversity and Justice Task Force of our synod as we seek to engage these difficult and important questions.
