The video below comes courtesy of the Advent Conspiracy website, and gives some food for thought as we plunge relentlessly once again towards Christmas....
It's far too easy to get caught up in the consumerism that surrounds Christmas, whether you're a Christian or not; that may change a little this year with the Credit Crunch squeezing people's pockets, but every shop and every TV Advert still wants to get us to spend as much as possible. It's very hard to avoid, too. This sort of message reminds us that there's far more to what we're about than providing a place for people to come and sing some jolly carols and maybe put a few pounds in the collection plate - we're about something that is a challenge to what often seems to be the way of the world, a different way not just of doing, but of being.
