ProgressiveChristianity.org is nothing without YOU – everything that we do is for you. That is our purpose, providing resources for people like you who are exploring their spirituality from a progressive Christian perspective.
We are also a non-profit working within the constraints of a relatively tight budget; without your support, we truly could literally be little to nothing. So, here is the ask: if you are in a position to donate any amount, please consider doing so. Even better, consider making your gift a sustaining gift (choose Recurring Donation); it helps provide a much needed, stable, financial foundation from which we can continue to grow into the future.
The season of Christmas holds a myriad of emotions, and that makes it fertile ground for the poet. Poetry as part of liturgy can help us express those emotions in our worship services, sometimes even better than prose can. Most of the classical poets wrote about Christmas (try googling “Christmas poetry” for a selection). Here are some from contemporary sources.
I am what comes before sand and sandstone
Chickens and eggs.
I am the unproven truth
On which all proofs depend.
My soul sings in gratitude.
I’m dancing in the mystery of God.
The light of the Holy One is within me
and I am blessed, so truly blessed.
