Yoga is happening at Immanuel every Thursday from noon-1pm. We have all the props you will need. Just bring yourself!
As we move more swiftly and certainly into a world shaped by cyber-technology, the stories of the Bible seem to become increasingly removed from people's life experience. This morning, I listened to news of nano-robots that soon could be injected into our bloodstream to help wounds clot, and of course, we are only one step away from implanting our iPhones directly into our heads. Shepherds and angels and stables and stars - this all seems ridiculously quaint and can feel completely irrelevant to where we are as a civilization. I'm a Minister, and it's hard to imagine people who have the entire contents of the world's knowledge available to them at the touch of a screen saying - you know what I need? I need to walk into that stone building over there and ask about that one story from 2000 years ago... something about swaddling clothes...?
I am not speaking for all people of faith - not even for my one little congregation - but for me, I think there is value in holding open the door to genuine encounters with other human beings within the context of a story. The story is just a starting point. It's just a kind of shared memory - it doesn't even have to be factually true - it just needs to hold us together with a promise of meaning and a message of hope. It needs to offer a safe space in which to raise the questions that can't be answered with a quick Google search because they involve relationships and great joys and deep sorrows and the struggle to claim our our most authentic self. I find the stories give us a common language and a cast of characters who reveal different ways of being in the world. For me, the story of Jesus is one of questioning authority, and challenging prejudice, and fearless confrontation with forces of oppression, and the power of love to transform, and the constant reminder that there is this greater reality that, in fact, defines us in empowering ways - if we let it. I believe that the further we go down the path of technology (inevitable), the more important it will be to embrace stories that ground us in humanity at its loving best. And, I believe that sometimes the power of the universe can be disguised as a quaint tale about a silent night in a faraway village, and the birth of a tiny baby.
A long invitation to a short service celebrating Christmas Eve - 4pm at Immanuel Community.
