Advent Conspiracy is an international movement restoring the scandal of Christmas by substituting compassion for consumption.The story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.
So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists.
And when it's all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?
What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?
Welcome to Advent Conspiracy.
Check out this movement and re-assess your priorities this Christmas. As a church can we allow our own desires for consumption to dissipate by learning how to give sacrificially and show compassion to others?
