'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
Church looks down its nose at cross-carrying competition. AB of York comes out against the Act of Settlement. AB of Canterbury teams up with Murdoch tabloid to spread the good news. Also attacks scientific explanations of natural phenomena. HM the Queen releases her Christmas message. A.N. Wilson writes about 'Who was the real Jesus?' The Guardian asks who should pay for church buildings now that nobody uses them any more. The Times writes about Midnight Mass and interviews Jerry Hall. The Telegraph interviews the Bishop of Durham. St Alban's Cathedral choir has girls now. The millennium won't be over for another year, but nobody cares; they will party anyhow. A rare burst of religious articles in Australian newspapers. The Times asks C of E bishops to celebrate the millennium by dressing down. The Independent notes a mini-revival of religious interest on the BBC, but loses its religious correspondent anyhow. An American rabbi wins England's Preacher of the Year contest. An Anglican church in South Africa sells its land and applies for a casino licence. All this, and (gasp) more, in the News Centre.

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

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.
