Christmas Message from the Bishop of Wisconsin, The Rt. Rev. Matthew Gunter
At Christmas, we remember that God did not come to us as an idea or a spirit hovering safely above real life. God came as a baby—born to a woman’s body, needing to be held, fed, cleaned, and protected. God went into the cold, the dark, the awkwardness, and the vulnerability of human flesh.
So when we look into the manger, we are reminded that nothing about being human is beneath God’s love or presence. Our bodies matter. Other people’s bodies matter. And love, at Christmas and always, must take on flesh.
A good Christian axiom, taking the Incarnation seriously, might be: “Don’t try to be more spiritual than God.” It is an axiom worth remembering as we celebrate the Feast of the Incarnation.
Merry Christmas.

Book Club News
Our next read will be “Home” by Marilynne Robinson. We will meet on Tuesday, January 6, at 12:30 in the Canterbury Room or via Zoom. Marilynne Robinson, author of Gilead, now returns with a brilliantly imagined retelling of the prodigal son parable, set at the same moment and in the same Iowa town as Gilead. The Reverend Boughton's hell-raising son, Jack, has come home after twenty years away. Artful and devious in his youth, now an alcoholic carrying two decades worth of secrets, he is perpetually at odds with his traditionalist father, though he remains his most beloved child. As Jack tries to make peace with his father, he begins to forge an intense bond with his sister Glory, herself returning home with a broken heart and turbulent past. Home is a luminous and healing book about families, family secrets, and faith from one of America's most beloved and acclaimed authors.
