Week of 19 December 1999
Advent
and Christmas Resources
Our page of Advent links.
'An American
Christmas': A telly programme to be aired in the States on Christmas Eve
and Christmas Day: 'The traditional story of Christmas from the Gospel
accounts, but also explores the meaning of the holiday from the perspective
of questioning children. Energetic music and short documentary vignettes
show celebrations of Christmas from different spiritual, cultural and
social backgrounds in North America--small rural towns and big cities;
children and adults; African American, European American, Latino/Latina,
Greek Orthodox'. A companion web site offers additional resources and
study materials, and RealAudio and RealVideo clips. -- http://www.ucc.org/christmas
'Blue Christmas':
'Christmas time can be a very lonely, depressing, "blue" time for those
grieving the loss of loved ones or other losses or for those who are all
alone when others are partying and gathering with family members. Several
parishes in the Diocese of Ottawa have over the past few years been offering
a service in the week before Christmas for those who "just can't celebrate
Christmas this year"'. On the diocesan web site you'll find two quite
different orders of service. -- http://ottawa.anglican.ca/blue.html
'Slightly
more than two millennia ago, in the night sky over a small hill town south
of Jerusalem, something happened, or didn't, and whatever it was, or wasn't,
was an honest-to-God miracle, or a naturally occurring astronomical phenomenon,
or neither, or both. Discuss'. Thus begins the Lingua Franca review of
two new books on the Star of Bethelem. Well worth reading. -- http://www.linguafranca.com/br/9911/panek.html

News
Centre
Much grumbling about the Millennium dome, and this is nearly our
last week to giggle about it. Bishop of Wakefield writes in The Times,
and Bishop of Worcester writes in his own defence in the Church Times;
that against which he is defending is also covered in the CT. English
fire brigades on alert over millennium candles. England says "no" to Scotland
about the Act of Settlement (no Catholic royalty). The ABC releases his
Christmas message and the CCB releases a teddy bear in his image. Surveys
reveal that Britain is largely a pagan nation. The Diocese in Europe on
technology; Frank Griswold meets with the Pope; a Church of England vicar
opens a charismatic parish. ECUSA reports on a conference of black Episcopalians;
Attila the Nun reaching the end of her chain. The Millennium pilgrimage
is not lost. All this, and more, in the News Centre.

News
Centre
Australian Roman Catholics find a way to provide computers to
their flock. An English charity is taking heat for discrimination. The
English people are found to be among the least religious in the world.
(Luckily for us in the News Centre their newspapers are still full of
news about religion). The Church in Wales gets a new leader. Astronomers
think they know which star was seen in Bethlehem. Canberra and Goulburn
no longer have to search for a bishop. English clergy being abused; Scottish
clergy being unsuccessfully bribed. A nativity play with handguns. A pop
musician spends his money to tell people that God is not religious. Political
correctness reaches The Faith Zone just as James Bond reaches the Millennium
Dome. All this, and more, in the News Centre.
