Practicing the Pause: An Hour in Advent to Remember and Wonder
Advent is a season of anticipation, but it often gets overshadowed by the busyness of preparing for Christmas-both in our professional and personal lives. What if we could take a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the wonder of the story at the heart of it all?
Join us for Practicing the Pause, a special Advent offering from EPN, Being With, and the Godly Play Foundation. This webinar is designed as a sacred hour to center yourself amidst the rush, rediscover the joy of the Advent story, and reflect on its unfolding truth in the year ahead.
Through the guidance of James Fawcett, Head of Being With, and Heather Ingersoll, Executive Director of the Godly Play Foundation, you’ll be invited into a space of stillness and delight-a place to wonder, remember, and be renewed.
Let this hour be your Advent gift: a time to reset and embrace the beauty and goodness of the season. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful time of reflection and connection.
Let’s journey together toward Christmas with hearts prepared and spirits refreshed.
Panelists Include:
*James Fawcett - Head, Being With; London, England
*Heather Ingersoll - Executive Director, Godly Play Foundation; Ashland, KS

    Where do they get these commie clowns. This is absolutely injurious to the faith. God does not care if Trump or Harris wins. He cares if we care for the poor, observe the sacraments and visit the prisoners. The best option for any Christian is not to vote in this election.

    Regarding "who's not at the table" - I'm curious about how we can better discern this beyond our individual perspectives and communicate candidly about needs we may not feel equipped to respond to.

    This is step one towards having a representative government. We must have objective districts without party characteristics or racial segregation. Be honest and transparent. I strongly encourage only using population density and continuous physically recognizable boundaries. When you incorporate income and race, you begin to segregate.

    I have finally taken the time to watch this and am amazed there are no comments!! I wish this was a regular format for CEEP - same or different panelists. The reality that clergy are careful to protect their compensation, to protect losing the 'big' givers is a minefield to maneuver. Like so much of secular life, we too in church have capitulated to the dollar. Funny I should sit and watch this on the week of the Parable of the Talents in the lectionary for Sunday ... a parable that is disturbing and rarely given a reflection that lifts up the 3rd servant who buried the Master's money and returned it. The only among them who did not participate in the economy, who called out the Master as harsh and the Master did not disagree! But none of us (self included) wants to be that 3rd servant ... we want to be the 1st or 2nd, acknowledged and praised for playing the game well. We need more white people talking to white people and to hear white clergy being vulnerable is necessary and refreshing. Frankly, as much as I love the church, it tires me out.
