The whole world has been
sharing in the sadness this week. With
our communication systems, we have been drawn into the grief of the community
of Newtown, CT.
We shared in a Sunday
School pageant this morning. As the
children came up in costume, sheep, angels, shepherds, the shadow of that grief
was present for me and I am sure for others.
A colleague shared that
Martin Crebbin and the Newtown Congregational Church have opened their doors
and hearts to the broken-hearted around them.
Martin’s family is safe but he and his church are doing the job of
Christian community, following in the steps of the Wounded Healer, being
present and caring to the people around them.
Those churches, like us,
will continue to light Advent candles and trust in a light that no tears can
erase and no darkness can put out.
