You will find nothing about political parties or Brexit here! Even the official Church websites have no message from our archbishops about principled voting to pass on. So we include a prayer for our country which speaks of courtesy, truth, mutual respect and the common good. Hugh Middleton’s article has relevance at election-time, though; he reports on the Minster’s harvest weekend when we were challenged by the facts of climate change, and questions the accepted wisdom that our possessions must always get ‘more, newer and bigger’. Canon Richard Frith, the Precentor, kicks off our coverage of Christmas with its services, and we have two articles about the background and meaning of popular carols. Two contributors describe the customs that people in different countries use to celebrate this special season. The Bible tells us that Jesus was born in a cow- shed, and we have articles about people near us who live without security or homes of their own – both locals and refugees. We celebrate the Minster building again and have a good look at symbolism in the Airmen’s Chapel, where RAF personnel killed in action Pause for Thought are remembered; the altar is made from timbers taken from a dismantled war plane and or the last few years there has A suggestion for prayer the message of peace is quietly presented.

But it is For churches in general, Christmas is a high point of the year, with quite a good mistranslation. Worship works best when the most a significance that goes far beyond its obvious theological one. It’s voices are heard. been one of the striking statistical facts of recent years that Christmas attendances across the Church of England have risen even as figures for the rest of the year have fallen. Cathedrals of course have a special place in the nation’s heart as a focal point for Christmas celebrations. I have never worshipped regularly in a cathedral in my life until now, but during the nearly ten years I lived in or close to Oxford, the festival of lessons and carols at Christ Church Cathedral was a cherished part of our routine each December. Christmas provides cathedrals with a glorious opportunity each year to connect with people through the worship of God – surely one of the key things that we are here to do. Cathedrals generally do Christmas very well; that is, at least in part, why people come.

  • Der Christstollen, Der Stollen Oder Die Stolle
    Der Christstollen, der Stollen oder die Stolle (die Schreibweise „Stolln“ ist regional nur für die Bergwerksanlage Stollen gebräuchlich) ist ein bekanntes Weihnachts- und Gebildegebäck. Die Form und das Aussehen des Gebäcks sollen an das gewickelte Christkind erinnern. angeschnittener Christstollen Detailaufnahme Stollen sind Gebäcke aus schwerem Hefeteig. Sie enthalten mindestens 3 kg Butter oder Margarine sowie 6 kg Trockenfrüchte – ausschließlich Rosinen, Sultaninen oder Korinthen – sowie Zitronat und Orangeat, bezogen auf 10 kg Mehl. Geschichte Der handwerkliche Christstollen ist das Weihnachtsgebäck mit der wohl längsten Tradition in Deutschland. Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung erfolgte „anno 1329“ in Naumburg (Saale), als Weihnachtsgabe für den Bischof Heinrich. Damals waren Stollen sehr magere Backwerke aus Hefeteig für das christliche Adventsfasten. Die bis heute unveränderte Form stellt ein Gebildebrot dar, welches an das in Windeln liegende Jesuskind erinnern soll. Dies erklärt auch die weiße Zuckerschicht außen. Die traditionelle Form ist bis heute unverändert. Katholische Dogmen erlaubten in der Fastenzeit seinerzeit weder Butter noch Milch. Stollenteige durften nur aus Wasser, Hafer und Rüböl geknetet werden. Papst Innozenz VIII. schickte 1491 ein als „Butterbrief“ bekanntes Schreiben, das Butter statt Öl erlaubte. Der „Butterbrief“ war an die Bedingung geknüpft, Buße zu zahlen, die unter anderem zum Bau des Freiberger Doms verwendet wurde. Der Butterbrief galt nur für das Herrscherhaus und dessen Lieferanten, wurde wohl aber bald großzügig ausgelegt. Man kann also mit Recht sagen, dass ein Papst am heutigen Stollenrezept mitgewirkt hat. Nach der Überlieferung war es die Idee des Hofbäckers Heinrich Drasdo in Torgau (Sachsen), den vorweihnachtlichen Fastenstollen zum Weihnachtsfest mit reichhaltigen Zutaten wie zum Beispiel Früchten zu ergänzen.

From the outset, his overriding concern was to open up the arts and education to everyone, but particularly to young people. In 1987, he established the Paul Hamlyn Foundation for general charitable purposes. Since then, we have continuously supported charitable activity in the areas of the arts, education and learning and social justice in the UK, enabling individuals, especially children and young people, to experience a better quality of life. We also support local charities in India that help the poorest communities in that country gain access to basic services. Paul Hamlyn died in August 2001, but the magnificent bequest of most of his estate to the Foundation enabled us to build on our past approaches. Mission To maximise opportunities for individuals and communities to realise their potential and to experience and enjoy a better quality of life, now and in the future.

  • Carol 1 Exam Materials
    Exam Task 1 Read the following extract from the final chapter of A Christmas Carol and then answer the question that follows. In this extract, Scrooge is a better man. "A merry Christmas, Bob," said Scrooge, with an earnestness that could not be mistaken, as he clapped him on the back. "A merrier Christmas, Bob, my good fellow, than I have given you for many a year. I'll raise your salary, and endeavour to assist your struggling family, and we will discuss your affairs this very afternoon, over a Christmas bowl of smoking bishop, Bob. Make up the fires, and buy another coal-scuttle before you dot another i, Bob Cratchit!" Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.

  • A Christmas Carol
    LOUGHEED HOUSE PRESENTS A CHRISTMAS CAROL Written by Charles Dickens Performed by Steven Méthot INTRODUCTION Hello and Happy Holidays! On behalf of the Lougheed House Conservation Society thank you so much for your donation and for showing your support for the work that we do in our community. For many years during the holiday season we have had the pleasure of presenting the gorgeous and heartfelt performances of Steven Méthot, Natalie Manzer, and Karen and Michael Pollock in our Drawing Room. For many, watching this performance has become a treasured annual family tradition and despite our needing to adapt to our current circumstances, we are so thrilled that we are able to share their performance in a new way this holiday season. For years, Steven, Natalie, Karen, and Michael have shared their version of this classic tale in order to help raise funds and awareness for community organizations that they support and believe in. It’s always been very clear to us at Lougheed House that this show and their collective performances were created in the same spirit and with the same values that inspired Charles Dickens to write A Christmas Carol - values of fellowship, community, giving, resilience and the importance of love. We are beyond grateful that they have worked with us again this year, especially while navigating the new risks, challenges and protocols that have all come to all our own doorsteps during 2020. Our wish for you this holiday season is that this radio play allows you to relax, recharge and connect with those closest to you.
