Advent - light in our darkness

Without light, the darkness comes. Our leaders and systems of power, empower the rich while depriving the poor. We tax the working but not those, whose exorbitant wealth works for them. We have weapons that cost 100s of billions, while 29% of all children in Britain this year lived in poverty – that 9 in a class of 30. Deitrich Bonhoeffer knew, “Advent can be celebrated only by those whose souls give them no peace, who know they are poor and incomplete, and who sense something of the greatness that is supposed to come.” The light still shines in the darkness for them, and the darkness cannot overcome it.
