Over the last year I have spent a lot of time exploring the promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion in our schools. This has required a lot of learning and a lot of introspection to consider my own bias and privilege.
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
This Sunday was the second Sunday of Advent, the season during which Christians wait with anticipation for the arrival of Jesus, who they believe is God the Son, God in human flesh.
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace”
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see (Hebrews 11:1 NLT)
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds
