Melinda in VT Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm looking for something to help me get more deeply into the spirit of Advent. Books, apps, podcasts are all good. I'm currently attending an Episcopalian church. I like traditional worship and liberal, radically inclusive theology. This is just for me. The rest of my family considers Sunday church attendance and our family wreath to be more than enough of an Advent celebration. What are you planning to do this year?

Liz CA Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Google or search for Jesse Tree resources. You should be able to find something. Here is one: http://www.crivoice.org/jesse.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I used the Magnificat Advent special book for many years. It walks you through with readings and so on. http://bookstore.magnificat.net/advent-companion-2231.html It is possible that the Episcopal Church puts out something similar, but I don't know where to look for that. :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyS Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ooooh, Oh! Me, me! I got the answer!! :hurray: Google Matthew Kelly "Best Advent Ever". It's an email thing. He'll send you an email each day with a short video, or short reading, etc. Totally Free.

Chris in VA Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Does it have to be about the season of Advent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda in VT Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Does it have to be about the season of Advent? I would have said yes, but now I'm curious to hear what you have in mind. [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel Mertz Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm an Episcopalian as well. I've used material from Joan Chittester (she's Catholic, a progressive Benedictine nun). Here is a link to her Advent materials. Also, take a look at the resources from the brothers at the Society of St. John the Evangelist (in Cambridge, MA); they are Episcopalian monks. You might also look at Occupy Advent. There is also The Advent Conspiracy (which also has a FB group). If you're on FB, you might also look at the pages for "Unapologetically Episcopalian" and "The Episcopal Church." Undoubtedly, they will have some timely materials. If I think of anything else, I'll add it. ETA: Not specifically for Advent, but the writings of Bishop Steven Charleston are outstanding. He is Choctaw and the retired Bishop of Alaska.

Lots here, and it all looks interesting. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
