Advent has begun and, as the Rev. John Thatamanil explains in his recent Faith Tides article, “Making Sense of Advent Expectation,” Advent "cultivates in us a refusal to accept the world as it is." With this in mind, please take a moment this Advent season to watch Bishop Anna’s 2-minute sermon, below, that discusses warming centres and homelessness here in BC. Consider writing to your MLA (click here for more information) and your municipal councilors about the need to adopt a Housing First (homelesshub.ca) appoach.
