The serious and sometimes satirical reflections of a priest, poet, and pilgrim —
who knowing he has not obtained the goal, presses on in a Godward direction.
“a clear-sighted companion.... If you are passionate about the vitality of today’s church, I encourage you to accompany him on his mystagogical excursion into the liturgical landscape. You will rediscover a familiar place rife with fresh provisions planted by the God who longs to feed our deepest hungers and hopes.” —Jay Koyle, chair, Faith, Worship and Ministry of The Anglican Church of Canada

Oh, it was lovely, and definitely a hankie was needed.
Downton Abbey also had a Christmas Special, both last year and this year. However, last year's season in the UK is this ear's season in the US. So this year's Christmas Special in the Uk will be next year's in the US. Plus, last year's Christmas Special in the UK was a story line during Christmas time, but this year's wasn't. This year the special was used to tie up a number of loose ends in the various story lines.
DId you understand all of that? ;)
I liked its description of Advent as a time of "expectant, joyous calm."
A very striking program. Thank you for the recommendation.
The whole series is splendid -- one of the best in years; and nice to see something uplifting for a change. Also, how often do you get a show involving Anglican nuns? And relatively stable and productive ones at that... a nice rejoinder to "Black Narcissus." (Which is a great film, mind, but rather displays the dysfunctional side of things...)
