Nativity of Christ. Holiness in the midst of the mundane.
The Meaning of Christmas
This homily is at:
The "Christmas story" shows us clearly how holiness lives in the midst of the mundane, invisible to the world. Do we notice it and crave it, or are we living swallowed up by the mundane? As we discuss this, we leisurely make our way toward an exegesis of the epistle for Nativity, which tells us the "Meaning of Christmas", focusing on: "Wherefore thou art no more a SLAVE, but a son...". We discuss slavery, and freedom, and how freedom is possible because of the incarnation.
