Had a very nice morning at the seminary last Thursday with about 15 others in the capable hands of Garry Williams. There are various approaches to the season for churches and I have long held my own view but it was good to hear Garry tackle it theologically. The view is basically that it is perfectly appropriiate to look at the theme od the incarnation at any time of the year and that inckudes December. We were warned against infantilising the story and misunderstanding what actually happened. This was all bulked out with some solid expostion of Matthew 1, much appreciated as that is the very place I hope to preach from this Christmas.
