  • Celebrating Jesus' birthday on Dec. 25

    What makes Orthodox Christianity different from other churches? — A.A.

    Western Christians easily observe that Orthodox Christians believe, understand and do things uniquely and then label them as “differences.”
    For Orthodox, we simply see ourselves as continuing in that which we received from Christ more than 2,000 years ago.
    Since there have been violent conflicts between Western groups over “differences,” the presupposition of violent disagreement gets projected onto the Orthodox.
    The Orthodox get oversimplified as “just another “different” Christian group caught in the trappings of “differences.”
    This is a logical fallacy, which prevents one from really examining Orthodoxy. Nevertheless, I will focus on two internal distinctions, rather than on external trappings.
    As a convert, I have observed two distinctions, which sets Orthodoxy apart from other Christian groups. The first is a certain preservation of the seriousness and profundity of God, his incarnation, and his effects on humanity and the cosmos.
    The profundity and radical sense of “the holy,” totally transforms each individual.

  • Bible Answers: Celebrating Jesus’ birthday on Dec. 25

     

    “Someone told me that Jesus probably wasn’t born on Dec. 25.  If that is true, is it wrong to celebrate his birth on that day?”— Linda 

     

    The Bible doesn’t give us a date nor mention a celebration of his birthday in the early church. Two gospels (Matt. 1:18-2:12; Luke 1:26-2:20) provide only minimal birth accounts.  

    The Christmas holiday we observe today is a relatively recent (19th century) development. It largely represents efforts by the church over the centuries to co-opt a smattering of pagan holidays and their trappings.

    Scripture does emphasize incarnation, God becoming man (Jn. 1:14; Gal. 4:4; Phil. 2:5-8; Col. 1:15-20; I Tim. 3:16; Heb. 2:14-18; I Jn. 4:2).

  • Celebrate Christmas at Trinity on the Hill

    Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church invites the community to its Christmas Eve Family Communion service. The service will include a musical celebration of Christmas, performed by the younger members of the church, at 5 p.m. Monday in the sanctuary of Trinity on the Hill, 3900 Trinity Dr.
    Approximately 15 young people of elementary and middle school ages will perform “Archangel Gabriel’s Awesome Adventure,” a musical fantasy by Beth Merrill and Allan Robert Petker.
    The composers created this musical from a simple question: if angels are sweet little creatures, why do they always greet humans with, “fear not?” From that question grew a script and music, and the show at TOTH.
    The pageant will be presented as part of a family communion service, with congregational carols, readings and prayers. Later, at 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve, the community is also invited to a traditional Mass of the Eve of the Nativity, with carols sung by the congregation and the Chancel Choir of Trinity on the Hill.  
    At 10 a.m. Christmas Day, a service of Christmas Day Communion will also be held. All are welcome to attend these services.
    For more information about these and other services at Trinity on the Hill, call 662-5107 or visit latoth.org.

    In 1987, “The Cosby Show” was one of the most popular programs on television, the New York Giants won the Super Bowl and a gallon of gasoline cost 89 cents.
    In August 1987, Timothy D. Stidham, his wife Tanya and their four children, moved to Los Alamos from Sherman, Texas. They had been hired to serve in ministry with the Los Alamos Church of Christ.  The kids were Tracy, 10; Tony, 8; Tera, 5, and Tiffany, 3.
    Twenty-five years later Tim and Tanya are still here, and there’s no end in sight.
    The church honored the Stidhams with a banquet at Hilltop House Hotel on Nov. 30, when members recounted 25 years of memories and presented the couple with gifts.
    Tim and Tanya worked five years with the youth group. Tim became pulpit minister in1992. Tanya has been women’s minister since 2000. Their son Tony is currently the church’s youth minister.
    Since 1987, Tim has delivered 963 sermons; conducted “The Table” Sunday evening class;” taught Sunday morning and Wednesday evening Bible classes and led Wilderness Trek encampments and congregational rafting trips.
