This week I came down with a head cold on Sunday night, followed by sinus problems, serious rounds of sneezing, and the inevitable sore throat the following morning. No videos could be recorded this week with me sounding like a very sick frog. Unable to do much else, I worked on posting all the changes to the AIC Virtual Bookstore version of Revelation: An Idealist Interpretation. It will have over 200 pages, 52 illustrations, and will be available in both paperback and Kindle versions some time in March. Continue reading “The Nicene Creed – Our Symbol of Faith”

Lessons & Carols for Christmas Eve
One of my favorite memories of my former parish, St. John Chrysostom Anglican Church, is the annual Christmas Sing. Each year I prepared a small booklet with the reading and the lyric. These changed from year to year. For A.D. 2015 I have expanded the range of free Seasonal Videos to include a virtual version of the Christmas Eve service which is also included in the AIC Bookstore publication, Occasional Services for Anglican Worship available at the AIC virtual Bookstore: https://www.Amazon.com/Author/Ronald-E-Shibley.
This new video fits between the 12/24 episode (O Emmanuel) of The Great “O” Antiphons program and the 12/25 episode (First Day of Christmas) in The Twelve Days of Christmas videos. Continue reading “Lessons & Carols for Christmas Eve”
