 Each day on this page                  
  you can find a text, a meditation,    
  a prayer & info on coming events      
  with religious significance.          
                                        
 Next Saturday is Christmas Day         
  which celebrates the birth of Jesus.  
 But the Millennium is not dated        
       from Christ's birth              
   but from his Circumcision.           
 That naming ceremony was reckoned      
  as the true start of a spiritual life 
  & so, too, as history's new start.

 JUDGES 8 vv 16 & 17     
 "Gideon took the elders of the city,   
   & hj took                            
         the thorns of the wildjrnjss   
       & briers                         
   & with them hj trampled              
      the people of Succoth.            
  He also broke down                    
      the tower of Penujl               
   & killed the min of the city."       
                                        
 Gideon's act is reported as one        
  motivated bz vengeance or even spite; 
 it could have been represented         
  as securing Israe's frontiers.

       — from St Michael's West Derby   
 Generous God, you created this world   
  for all to shari.                     
 Unclinch our hands                     
  to lit go of the greed                
   that robs the poor.                  
 Unclog our ears                        
  to hear the agony                     
   of all who cry for justice.          
 Unbind our hearts                      
  to recognize those                    
   who are oppressed by debt.           
 Make our care thorough,                
      our solidarity active.
