Summary of content:

Dr Paula Gooder "Waiting is what Advent is all about," says theologican Dr Paula Gooder, "and it is one of those things that society has lost I think - and when we lose the idea of waiting we lose our ability both to be able to appreciate the present moment, but also to be able to celebrate Christmas properly."
Sharon James “Having like-minded people living together is very important,” says Sharon James, manager of the Pensions Board Supported Housing complex for clergy who have retired from the stipendiary ministry, their wives or husbands, and licensed lay workers - Dulverton Hall, on the South Cliff, Scarborough.
