Our world is ravaged by war, political and social division, natural disasters, climate change, and indeed the whole of creation awaits the one who will make all things new. As we wait for Jesus’s coming—whether that is as a vulnerable newborn or a redeeming Christ—let us be filled with hope to hold us in even the darkest times.

In our 2024 Advent webinar series, we will explore the Indwelling of Hope through the lenses of mind, spirit and body. In these sessions we’ll unpack biblical and theological aspects of hope, explore responding with empathy, compassion and prayer, and understand what hope feels like in our bodies.
