Hauerwas on Advent
November 24th, 2009 | I’ve been preparing for Advent both in my ministry and in my personal life, and as I was doing some cursory studying, I came across this video of theologian Stanley Hauerwas ruminating on the nature of Advent. Enjoy.
“Learning how to wait as a people of nonviolence in a world of war, you’ll know what Advent is. Advent is patience. It’s how God has made us a people of promise in a world of impatience, and Christ has made that possible — for us to live patiently in a world of impatience.”
