In which we delve into implications of hope this second week of Advent. A hope that—in the words of Jan Richardson—draws us past our limits...defies expectations...questions what we have known...makes a way where there is none." Our own Julia Riley offers a homily rooted in Isaiah 11:1-10, followed by circle conversations on own own wrestling with hope. Neal Curran and Ken Stewart offer up songs of the season by Stevie Wonder, Damien Jurado, Andrew Bird, and Steven Foster.
