IMAGINE a locale that is beautiful and bountiful…
IMAGINE a place where the people are friendly and helpful…
IMAGINE a culture that is intellectually stimulating…
IMAGINE a space where music enthralls and art inspires…
IMAGINE towns where livelihoods vary from land to the sea…
IMAGINE land that is growing healthy and affordable food…
IMAGINE a society with a multitude of people devoted to the common good…
IMAGINE the poor, the homeless, the mentally ill, the abused, the addicted who are compassionately served by these individuals and organizations…
Wait a minute, we don’t have to imagine these things, this is our home!
But let’s also…
IMAGINE a community becoming aware of a future climate that can turn this blessed creation into an unhealthy, hostile and dangerous dystopia…
IMAGINE these many and diverse folks and groups coming together to address our climate emergency with their unique perspectives, voices and skills…
IMAGINE this populous (both young and old) breaking through the barrier of despair into action…
IMAGINE residents organizing to make every municipality, school, and business part of the solution to our climate emergency…
IMAGINE the building of needed physical and social infrastructure to forestall and minimize the disruption caused by climate instability…
IMAGINE building a just and equitable world worthy of our love…
IMAGINE loving this world so much that we save it

For us, this year, this Advent 2021, this imagining is what Incarnation looks like. During this season of darkness while we are waiting for the return of the Sun and the birth of the Son, we proclaim the Light present in this community. And we are filled with HOPE.
