    Advent Meditations & Prayers from Seminary of the Southwest

    C_Kittredge_1Dear Friends of Seminary of the Southwest,

    One of the pleasures of being part of a seminary community is collaboration with talented colleagues. Reflecting on and writing about the Christian life are enriched by doing so together; when the Spirit works among us, new things spring into being. I am delighted to share with you this year’s Advent meditations and prayers written by our faithful alumni, students, faculty, staff, trustees, and friends. It is a collaboration that conveys the distinctiveness and diversity of our community as we each meditate on the joy and promise anticipated during Advent.

    While December speeds up, Advent slows down. And how difficult it is to stay present. May these short reflections offer support and company as you move through each day of the season, connecting you with the writer and with the wider community of Seminary of the Southwest and our pattern of reading scripture and prayer.

    Please pray for our beautiful and hurting world this Advent season, and pray that we at Seminary of the Southwest might continue to be equipped and supported by the Spirit to take our part in God’s healing mission.

    Advent_Front_Cover_RGB-2Wishing you and yours a blessed Advent and joyous Christmas.

    Faithfully,

    Cynthia Briggs Kittredge

    Dean and President
