Queer Spirituality: Advent Resources

In Bearing the Light of Advent with Holy Women Icons Rev. Dr. Angela Yarber writes, “As much as we want to share gratitude during the season of Thanksgiving, prepare for the hope of Advent, or celebrate Christmas, it’s difficult because the holiday season can be tough for queer folks… No matter what you do or where you go throughout the holiday season, know that you are loved. Know that you are worthwhile. Know that the light shining within you is worth sharing.”

The light shining within you is worth sharing.

What spiritual practices help you see the light? What spiritual practices help you share your light?

Just a couple resources for Advent:

Disciples Home Missions shares an Advent & Epiphany Six Part Devotional Series on Immigration: “Ignite the Light.”

The Human Rights Campaign provides Out in Scripture, a devotional resource based on the lectionary.
