Nearly eight hundred people attended the Christmas Eve services at my church, St. Alban’s Waco — the most people ever for one day at this ordinary small-city Episcopal church. The mission of St. Alban’s is “to proclaim to all, in word and deed, the grace of God in Jesus Christ” — and that’s what Aaron Zimmerman, our rector, and the rest of the staff do, day after day. And because Christ is proclaimed, without reservation and without a political agenda, people come. I am so proud of our leaders and so grateful to God.
