Advent Resources
Trinity Church, Wall Street Advent Calendar: 'a calendar that lets the people of the Anglican Communion say to the world, expect hope. In so doing, the people also say – through their actions – that rumors of the Communion’s demise are greatly exaggerated.'
Why We Are Waiting: 'The idea is for people accessing the lively online facility to take five minutes to change the world this Advent by following the 'tread gently' challenges and video stories behind each door. In the launch Archbishop Tutu says: "Care for the world, it is the only one we have."'
Webcast: The annual Advent
carol service from the Chapel of St John's College, Cambridge. Broadcast live by the BBC's Radio 3 on Advent I, the service
is available for listening on demand via the BBC iplayer until 6 December 2009.
