Wrote this for our first Sunday of advent service at Kairos tonight.
Its based on Romans 8 and a response to the year that's been both globally and (in implication) personally for H and I.
We wait with the people of South East Asia, of Pakistan and of New Orleans
For a time when man and earth will no longer be in conflict.
We wait with the whole of Creation
We wait in hope for the Sons of God to be revealed.
We wait with the people of Palestine, of Iraq and of Sudan
For a time when all will be free from oppression and bloodshed
We wait with the whole of Creation
We wait in hope for the Sons of God to be revealed.
We wait with the people of Paris, of London and of Bradford
For a time when we can live together in peace and friendship.
We wait with the whole of creation
We wait in hope for the Sons of God to be revealed.
We wait with the whole of creation and with our brothers and sisters around the world.
For a time when we will be liberated from bondage and live in the freedom of God.
We wait with the whole of creation
We wait in hope for the Sons of God to be revealed.
There's a more upbeat waiting liturgy from Andrew at Home.

This meditation stimulus puts light on Advent and our Christian community--where it is,in the present. It is clear that our waiting and hope are very much now, not just a past that we are commemorating.
