Reflections for Advent from members, associates and friends of the
Iona Community around the world - from Uganda, Scotland, Wales,
Palestine, Switzerland, India, Malawi, Australia, China, Iona,
Sweden, Kenya, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, the Netherlands, Germany,
Jerusalem, Japan, Ireland, Taiwan, Cuba, Alaska - and more. Many
people are seeking for a meaningful spiritual dimension in their
lives. There is evidence of that in the huge number of people who
work for peace and justice, who accompany the marginalised, and
who, in trying to live more simply, become deeply attentive to the
cries of our wounded planet. The writers in this book come from
different parts of the world. In everyday language they reflect on
the challenge and hope of Advent - a time in the Christian year
both of waiting and of expectancy. Their thoughts relate directly
to our present world situation in which both hope and uncertainty
are interconnected. They also remind us that many are seeking the
reality of God's presence in the midst of human experience - or in
more traditional language, 'the light of the Lord upon us'. The
various reflections point us to places and people in many parts of
the world where that light shines, often - surprising as it may
seem - brightly. Their insights enable us to walk more creatively
and compassionately in our own local situations, and to discover
that God's light sometimes shines where we least expect it.
