A moment of peace amidst the Christmas madness
(19 December 2005)

Frazzled by the run-up to Christmas? A Norwich priest has come up with a two-minute escape from the festive chaos, to rediscover the 2,000-year-old meaning behind it all.

"Many people know and appreciate the real reason for Christmas, and regret its increasing commercialisation, but we can't help getting pulled into it," said Father James Walsh, the Dean of St John's Cathedral. "So I have put four short reflections onto our website - one for each week of Advent.

"They are aimed at anyone, including those who don't feel comfortable actually visiting a church, but want a spiritual element to the season."
