Around forty people joined us for this year’s Advent Evening celebration. With song and chant throughout the evening, we stood in silence around the advent fire, witnessed a roleplay of the recent Amazon Synod and shared prayers in the living room, and meditated on sacred objects in the chapel. We then enjoyed a delicious potluck dinner including much of Dixon’s homemade bread. Finally we sang together with a smattering of poetry reading until midnight (pictures below capture a taste of the singing).
