A Yearbook of Seasons and Celebrations
What is the Christian calendar? Would you know how to make an Advent wreath? When is Candlemas? Who was the original St Nicholas? Why do we eat Hot Cross Buns? These and many other questions are all answered in A Year Book of Seasons and Celebrations - a guidebook to the traditional Christian year, which is also a cookery book, a mine of interesting information, and a source of amusement, inspiration, and faith. Living the calendar, celebrating its feasts, enjoying the ways in which they mesh with the natural seasons of the year, gives a new appreciation of the gift of life itself and our relationship both with the natural world and with the customs and culture that we have inherited.

One Corner of London
This book, published to mark the anniversary of St Bede's Catholic church, Clapham Park tells the story of these hundred years in the parish - an extraordinary blend of human achievement, family links, buildings and bombings, joys, sorrows, disappointments, bureaucracy and real spiritual growth, all mixed up together! From the days when this corenr of London was a place of horse-drawn vehicles and children in sailor suits or dark dresses and white pinafores, to today's traffic-filled streets and denim-jeaned families, this is a record of human life centred round a little church where God is worshipped, loved and honoured. Joanna Bogle is a Catholic journalist and broadcaster whose previous books include a Book of Feasts and Seasons, a number of historical biographies and a handbook for engaged couples.
The Church of St Elizabeth Of Portugal Richmond. A Bicentennial History
200-year-old history of St Elizabeth's church in The Vineyard, Richmond upon Thames
Advent and Christmas
This handy booklet sets out the rich heritage of customs long practised by Catholics during the seasons of Advent and Christmas. The Church makes sense of the natural seasons of the year through her own liturgical seasons. Advent's four weeks, cribbing, St Nicholas, carols, the 12 days of Christmas, Candlemas, St Lucy and Boxing Day are just some of the rich traditions explained here - a fine antidote to the prospect of gluttony and materialism frequently on offer at the year's end.
Scandalous Saints and Spirited Sinners
Saints can seem remote and distant, close to God but far from people. But theyre more like us than we give them credit for. Their lives were like ours, full of dilemmas and struggles, with bad choices as well as good. But their goodness won out in the end, as ours can. Interest in angels is quite popular at the moment, but it is the saints who are really like us in both their strengths and frailties. Youll find their stories here, told simply and briefly, with cartoons throughout. Theres a saint for every week of the year, and a list of patrons , find out why Clare is the patron saint of television or how Andrew came to be patron saint of Scotland. Who knows , you may even find your own personal saint to pray to!
Women who do and women who don't join the women's movement
First published in 1984, Women who do and women who don’t join the women’s movement asks a variety of women – some of whom chose to align themselves with the women’s movement, others who chose not to – to write about their lives and the reasons for choices they have made. Where do the differences lie in the experience of feminists and antifeminists? Can clear dividing lines be drawn which place two groups of strong, intelligent women on opposing sides in the battle to survive in a ‘man’s world’? In tackling these questions, the contributors create a diverse pattern of women’s interpretations of ‘being female’, with, surprisingly, similarities emerging between the two groups, particularly in terms of their experience of ‘self’. This book will be of interest to students of women’s studies, gender studies and sociology.
