In The Episcopal Church, as with other Christian liturgical traditions, we are in the middle of the Advent season, a time of waiting, anticipating, and reflecting on the birth of the Christ Child and the coming of Christ in any given moment. We light a candle each of the four weeks of the season to mark the time and watch the light increase. These typically colder and shorter days give us a nudge inward to reflect spiritually. It's not Christmas yet, not a time for jolly gathering and flurries of activity. Be still. Be quiet. Abide in anticipation for what is to come, building up the expectation and all that it means.

In 2015, in a diversity training, our group went through a sort of checklist while standing at our seats, sitting down if a statement applied to us; the only ones left standing at the end of the exercise were the ones with the most privilege. Last year, there was a 2018 video recirculated of a group of students in a field who are going to race to win $100. Before the race begins, though, a few statements are read, and the students take a step forward if the statement applies to them. The statements intentionally highlight one's privilege, and you can see the discomfort on many faces as they realize what an unfair advantage they have in the race over those who are still at the original starting line.
