Aren’t these just the best thing for hanging on the tree? Who wants to buy me one?
The top-ranking clergymen in the Church of England will be hanging on Christmas trees all across the realm this year. The gift and souvenir company St Nicolas has produced miniature versions of Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and Archbishop of York John Sentamu to be used as Yuletide decorations. As the image at right indicates, the resemblance is imaginary slight.
Aber mit der Heimat
geht man immer herum,
durch die Welt,
dort und dort
Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.

Augustine of Canterbury
Almighty God,
whose servant Augustine was sent as the apostle
of the English people:
grant that as he laboured in the Spirit
to preach the gospel of Christ in this land,
so all who hear the good news
may strive to make your truth known in all the world;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
God’s Word
And now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. (2 Samuel 7:28, ESV)
