We’re excited this year to offer a new SCM resource, an Advent practice companion on the theme ‘Waiting for Christ in a Wounded World’. This resource is designed to support you in an observance of Advent that is meaningful and responsive to the world we find ourselves in. We almost called it “an activist advent devotional” – but really it is for anyone who is filled with concern, fear, and rage over the current state of our world, and wants an Advent practice that speaks to those realities. It is designed to be adaptable and meaningful – whether you have half an hour a week, twenty minutes a day, or anywhere in between to devote to your Advent practice.
Whether you’re a long-time SCMer, an occasional user of SCM resources, or someone who simply found this by googling “social justice Advent”, we hope you find it fruitful.
Two versions of the Advent Companion are found below: a full-colour version and a version with all-white page backgrounds to save ink if you’d like to print the resource, or if you simply prefer a higher-contrast reading experience.
