Advent Conspiracy

In his blog, Scott Hodge, lead pastor at the Orchard Community Church in Aurora, Illinois, introduces to his church the concept of Advent Conspiracy. I guess it's called a "conspiracy" because it is an intentional movement going against the consumeristic flow and seeking a simplified and meaningful Christmas experience. The idea resonates strongly with my theology and my desire. Scott suggests 3 specific things to do this season:
  1. Resist the shopping craze.
  2. Give Relational Gifts.
  3. Redistribute wealth to those in need nearby and around the world.

He made an excellent video explaining the concept. It's worth a few minutes of your time:
