  • Pastor's Page – January 2006
    PASTOR’S PAGE – JANUARY 2006 I’m not big on resolutions around the New Year. It seems that if I know that I should do something for my health, or something positive in my life (like simplifying or discarding things that are no longer used) I don’t need to wait until the beginning of a new year. I can start those things anytime. Also, it has always seemed that so many of those well intentioned resolutions made on January 1 have gone by the wayside around January 4 th , so why bother. But there are some resolutions that I think we would do well to include in our lives. Not all of them, for they are a tall order when taken all together. But, perhaps you might start with one. And then, when it has become a planned part of your life you can move on to another. I want to warn you, don’t expect immediate results on any of these. They need multitudes resolving to be involved to become reality. But, work diligently on the one that you pick, see if you can find reports of things improving in your particular area, and be proud that during the coming year you are part of the solution to something. Resolve to do something about the health care mess in our nation, so that we aren’t last among nations in the first world in the health care that we provide for our children, adults and seniors. Resolve to do something to start fixing the infrastructure of our country, so that roads are repaired and levees strengthened and parklands are protected.

  • Call for Contributions Fan Phenomena: Game of Thrones with Five Books
    Call for Contributions Fan Phenomena: Game of Thrones With five books and approximately eight million words published thus far in the Song of Ice and Fire series (1996-ongoing) and the sixth season of HBO's Game of Thrones currently airing, we are seeing the beginnings of a school of criticism devoted to George R.R. Martin’s works and their peculiar brand of deconstructive and in many ways postmodern interpretations of the fantasy genre and medievalism. Often positioned as the grittier antithesis of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth, Martin's narrative focuses on the darker side of chivalry and heroism, stripping away these higher ideals to reveal the greed, amorality, and lust for power underpinning them. The Fan Phenomena series from Intellect Press is seeking contributors for a new volume on Game of Thrones. This series explores and decodes the fascination we have with what constitutes an iconic or cult phenomenon and how a particular person, TV show, or film character/film infiltrates its way into the public consciousness. Game of Thrones has done precisely that, first subtly and on the fringes as the book series A Song of Ice and Fire, before the lush production values and dynamic cast of the HBO series made it a worldwide blockbuster. Some suggested topics are listed below, although feel free to propose something not on this list. The only requirement is that your proposed chapter focus not just on the show or the books, but on fans and fan responses to either or both. • Demographics of Game of Thrones fans o Who makes up the Game of Thrones fandom? How does the actual fandom differ from the show's perceived/intended audience? • Location tourism o Fans who visit filming locations for the HBO series in Ireland, Croatia, Spain, etc; how these locations are capitalising on Game of Thrones fans • The cast of the HBO series and their engagement with fans/social media o e.g.

  • Nativity of Jesus
    Nativity of Jesus For other uses, see Nativity of Jesus (disambiguation). will of God, undoing the damage caused by the fall of The nativity of Jesus or birth of Jesus is described the first man, Adam. The artistic depiction of the na- tivity has been an important subject for Christian artists since the 4th century. Since the 13th century, the nativity scene has emphasized the humility of Jesus and promoted a more tender image of him, as a major turning point from the early “Lord and Master” image, which has had an effect on the basic approaches of Christian pastoral ministry.[2][3][4] The nativity plays a major role in the Christian liturgical year. Christian congregations of the Western tradition (including the Catholic Church, the Anglican Commu- nion, and many Protestants) begin observing the season of Advent four Sundays before Christmas, the traditional feast-day of his birth, which falls on December 25. Chris- tians of the Eastern Orthodox Church observe a similar season called the "Nativity Fast" during the forty days leading up to Christmas, which for them falls on January Adoration of the Shepherds by Gerard van Honthorst, 1622 7 as a result of Orthodox churches continuing to follow the Julian calendar, rather than the modern day Gregorian calendar.[5] 1 Date of birth See also: Date of birth of Jesus of Nazareth and Chronology of Jesus § Historical_birth_date_of_Jesus The date of birth for Jesus of Nazareth is not stated in the gospels or in any secular text, but most scholars assume a date of birth between 6 BC and 4 BC.[6] The historical evidence is too ambiguous to allow a definitive dating,[7] but the date is estimated through two different approaches - one by analyzing references to known historical events mentioned in the Nativity accounts in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew, and the second by working backwards from the estimation of the start of the ministry of Jesus.[8][9] Medieval miniature painting of the Nativity by the Master of 2 Place of birth Vyšší Brod, c.

    Lessons & Carols for The Feast of the Nativity of Jesus 25 December 2020 “A Silent Night” Grace Episcopal Church 827 Church Street Honesdale, PA The Rev’d Edward K. Erb, rector [email protected] 570-241-2685 INTRODUCTION Hello, and welcome in this holy season to “Virtual Grace” from Grace Episcopal Church in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. I’m Fr. Ed, the rector of our parish, and while we wish we could all be here in person and shake the rafters with our singing, we will sing God’s praises together, though not right here, or are you? Christmas is full of mysteries! It does feel like Christmas in some ways - more than a foot of snow this week, college kids from previous years of Choir able to join us, and the Church decorated. And as you will see in the video, Choir members are here with me, for we must sing carols at Christmas, how can we not? Yet you will notice that with the exception of siblings, we are all carefully distanced and wearing masks, we apologize if some portions of the video are not the easy to hear. We are grateful to Jordan, Kyle, Jared, Elise, Harry, Sue and Zach for being with us and you in making this day special. We hope that you have received the words of the carols in e-mail (all of which are in the public domain, I have to mention) and even if you don’t think you can sing, sing anyway, or hum. Our service is sadly not a midnight Mass or a Christ-Mass on the day of the Nativity of Jesus - Christ-Mass.
