Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined. Those are familiar words. We hear them on Christmas Eve every year. Perhaps we could say the same today, some 2,700 years after Isaiah first proclaimed those words. For 50 years now, thousands of people have walked in darkness -- the darkness of the disregard for life in our country. But for 50 years now, thousands of people have walked in darkness because they have seen a great light.
