As Advent approaches, Bishop Elizabeth Eaton has co-authored a devotional resource for your congregation with three other\u00a0Lutheran and Anglican leaders.<\/p>\n

Along with Bishop Eaton, the weekly devotions were contributed by the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, presiding bishop and primate, The Episcopal Church; the Most Rev. Fred Hiltz, primate, Anglican Church of Canada; and the Rev. Susan C. Johnson, national bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. The resource is, in part, a way to celebrate the full communion partnership between the contributing churches.<\/p>\n

As the bishops write in a joint cover letter,\u00a0“May our prayers united be a modest but hopeful sign of what our churches can do together as we bear witness to the One who first reconciled himself to us.”<\/p>\n

The themes of each week’s reflections are: “Liberated by God’s Grace,” “Creation-Not for Sale,” “Salvation-Not for Sale,” and finally, “Human Beings-Not for Sale.”<\/p>\n

The Advent devotions, formatted for easy printing with your congregation’s bulletin, are available in PDF here:<\/p>\n
