Sleepers Wake Advent Resources

Home News Sleepers Wake Advent Resources

This four-part series is about Christian spirituality for Advent in the context of the climate and environmental crises.

It is based around the first verse of the hymn ‘Sleepers Wake’ using the four lines to give a framework for each week of Advent. The resources are offered by Home Groups, a website with resources and advice to run a church home group online or in person.

Sleepers Wake! is the title of the book by former Bishop of Salisbury Nicholas Holtam. The Archbishop of York’s Advent Book for 2022, it draws on Bishop Nicholas’s experience as former Church of England lead Bishop for the environment and urges spiritual and cultural transformation to help preserve our world for future generations.

Bishop Nicholas talked about Advent books with Claire Gilbert and fellow author Andrew Nunn last month – listen to the recording here.
