Bid Thou Our Sad Divisions Cease

“To grow benevolence -- to live our lives in alignment with God's values of love, justice and compassion -- is to stand in opposition to the rulers of the world of gloom -- to be a light to the nations -- to strive to make peace on earth, goodwill to all not just a hymn we sing once a year but a reality we live all year long.” Meditation by Susan Russell from Advent Evensong at 5:00 p.m. on the Fourth Sunday of Advent, December 18, 2022 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.
