As Advent turns the corner toward Christmas, we are delighted to see our rector — Mike Kinman — featured on the cover of the Christmas issue of the Pasadena Weekly.

You’ll want to read the whole interview — entitled “Stepping Up” —  here … but here’s a quote to get you started:

What is the call to [All Saints Church]? I’d like to think it’s the same call to every church: Where’s Jesus? He’s with the marginalized and the oppressed, and the motto of the church has to be “We stand with you, and if it happens to you, we want it to happen to us.” We want to say absolutely sign up for the battle. This isn’t new. It’s us continuing a tradition that’s been around 2,000 years.
