Advent 1977 marked by Christian unity and discord
By Frank Maurovich
Pacific News Service
The season of Advent
(opening Sunday, Nov. 27) is
for Christian churches a time
of preparation for the coming
of Christ.
While intended mainly to
remind the world of the real
meaning behind the
commercial trappings of the
Christmas season, Advent
actually proclaims a threefold
coming of Christ: in history,
mystery and majesty. Or, more
simply, his coming in the past,
present and future.
Some critics contend the
churches could do a more
effective job of proclaiming
such an important message if
they could get their own act
together. They say, for
example, that the

Day program Sunday.
Speaker was Charles Walker,
executive director of the
Human Relations Commission.

observe “Deaconess Day” at

Episcopalians -- in turmoil over
the ordination of women -
should have known what to
expect by watching Catholics,
who raised an uproar simply by
changing the language of the
liturgy.
And this year, the
Lutherans, who already had
more divisions than the
National Football League, split
into yet another branch.
“It’s hard to argue that such
dissension does much good,”
one theologian said, “but it
does keep the churches
humble, an important virtue
for human organizations
claiming a divine mandate.”
Despite the internal
problems, however, the
churches are united when they

They tell us that on that
night divinity entered into
human history, a fulfillment of
Isaih’s prophecy: “The virgin
shall conceive and bear a son
and they shall call him
Emmanuel (which means God
is with us).” They remind us
that our expressions of human
love -- the exchange of cards
and gifts -- follows the example
of divine love.
But the churches are not
united when they try to show
the world how Christ continues
to come in the mystery of the
present moment and how he
will come in majesty in the
future.
Many churchmen, especially
in the Third World, see the
fundamentalists' emphasis on
Christ’s imminent future - or

“second coming” - as a
distraction that leads a
Christian to withdraw from the
world rather than struggle to
change it. Why struggle for a
better water supply, higher
wages or a new school if Jesus
is coming soon?
Progressive theologians see
the recognition of Christ’s
second coming as a
non-problem, because they
maintain that if Christians do
not see Christ coming today,
they will never recognize him
on the last day.

our power to be in heaven with

While the churches largely
agree that Christ continues to
come daily through the power
of the Holy Spirit in Sacred
Scripture, in die sacraments
and in the needs of humanity,
there’s wide disagreement not
only on where the emphasis
should be placed but also how
this mysterious coming is to be
presented to the non-believer.
One school is exemplified by
the fundamentalist group that
recently announced the goal of
raising $1 billion to fulfill the
Bible’s “great commission” by
preaching to every comer of
the earth. Led by evangelist

Christ) Bright and a team of

Nature has its rhythm. So must

prosperous U.S. businessmen,
this upcoming modem-style
evangelistic effort will rely on
computers, electronic media
and sophisticated advertising
techniques to blanket the
world.
The information about a
child born in a simple stable
who died on a rough cross will
be accompanied by a warning
that salvation is impossible
unless the message is accepted.
Most mainline Christian
churches reject such
propaganda techniques as
superficial, even harmful. But
the majority of these
churchmen also base their
pastoral mission on the biblical
injunction that “unless a
person is bom again (baptized)
he cannot enter the kingdom
of heaven.”
2. In solitude u>e find life.
When we can be quiet, we
discover things. We learn to be
at peace with ourselves. It may
be also that we come to sense
the fulfillment of our life in
God. Solitude, in this sense,
may be a saving grace.
3. In quietness we may
listen. All of us tend to speak
too much-, even when our lips
are still. In our activity-orien
ted age, all too seldom do we
“let go,” be still... and so hear
what nature has to say, or hear
our own silent reflections on
past actions and future plans.
“Come away by yourselves...
and rest awhile.”
