Let us imagine that a time machine transports John from the first century to the upper level of Crossgates Mall on Black Friday. He arrives with his perennial Advent "sound bite" - Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand! We are also introduced to the principal character of the Advent season - John the Baptist. We find ourselves once again in the period of expectation and waiting that we call Advent. These words, taken from the Advent Carol of Hope, echo the fact that the year is winding down and we certainly are experiencing (at least where I live) the earth growing colder. That growth can flower from our grieving, that we can catch our breath Yet I believe beyond believing that life can spring from death The chill sets in a little colder, the verities we knew seem shaken and untrue. A department of the City of Springfield, the Museum invites you to connect with the world, your community, and yourself through active engagement with art objects.(I share these thoughts which were delivered in my homily for the Second Sunday of Advent.)Įach winter as the year grows older, we each grow older, too The Springfield Art Museum is Springfield, Missouri’s oldest cultural institution, founded in 1928.
