Flying Saucers and Christmas
Leander S. Harding teaches Pastoral Theology and is Head of Chapel at Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry. Ordained for 25 years, he has served rural, suburban and urban parishes. He holds the Ph.D. from Boston College.
Each year this award-winning preacher set himself the discipline of preparing a Christmas Eve sermon for people who had no previous exposure to the Christian message. The result: sermons about flying saucers, aliens, teddy bears and angels and above all about the costly love of God for the human race.
“In the midst of the struggles of our personal history and of world history, it is easy for us to whom it has been revealed to forget that the Angels are singing. So we come here to have our ears tuned and our sight refined that we might hear this song and see this invisible glory.”
