The Wrong Choice? An Advent Meditation
Did Mary make a wrong choice? We know how the story ends, but viscerally I cannot fathom the toll her son’s suffering took upon her life.
Anton Flores-Maisonet is the co-founder of Alterna, a bilingual community of Christ-followers in Georgia devoted to faithful acts of hospitality, mercy, and justice. Some of these acts include co-founding El Refugio (a hospitality house outside Stewart Detention Center, a large for-profit immigration detention center), Shut Down Stewart Coalition, Holy Week Pilgrimage for Immigrants, and Georgia Detention Watch. Anton often speaks at colleges/universities, conferences, and churches on intersectional issues related to faith, community, and immigrant justice. Married since 1994 to Charlotte, together they have two sons, Jairo and Eli. https://www.facebook.com/casaalterna
