Words for Season of ChristmasAnnunciation Celebration Nativity

Pepi Nelson, 2008 Senior Warden andClint Beeland, 2008 Junior Warden

CALLED BY A STAR

We celebrate the feast of The Epiphany onJanuary 6, the twelfth day of Christmas.The Epiphany marks the revelation of the

Messiah, the Christ, to the world of gentiles. WiseMen travel far from eastern lands following the lightof a star to find Him. Who were they? Perhaps theywere Mesopotamian astronomers, ones whowatched the skies and detected the slightest change in the heavens. Perhaps they were astrologers who sawomens and portents in the arrangement of the constellations. Perhaps they were the Three Kings of thebeloved hymn. We know them only as The Wise Men bringing gifts to honor the one they would find at theend on their journey. Consider that journey. What sets them on the road? It’s a sense of something importanthappening, some great new thing that has come into the world, and that sense changes their lives. Oncehaving that sense, they are drawn westward by a deep desire to learn about its source, to be a part of the greatevent unfolding. They simply cannot stay away. The journey isn’t easy. The distance is great, and there may bedetours and setbacks, tough going, but they persist until they find their goal. Having arrived, they recognizethe Messiah, even in the highly improbable person of the small Jewish child in a hovel. It’s all there; the call,the journey, and the presence of Jesus. The Epiphany is not just an event of long ago; it’s our story and thestory of Christians throughout the ages.

for every member of the familywith you at all times.” Happy'sluggage did not arrive when shelanded in Germany. It came on alater flight.

Happy and Peter have anelaborate miniature ChristmasVillage collection that was startedby Peter's secretary Vicki inSavannah who gave them a churchbuilding their first Christmas thereand every year thereafter. “Wecaught the bug after she gave usour first little group of people,”said Happy.

She claims her interest inNASCAR is purely scientific. “Notbeing a driver or having ascientific bent, I am fascinated bythe pit crews and all they do tokeep the cars going in allconditions. I do think the‘gophercam’ is cute.”

Happy went to seminary withPeter, attending all classes exceptAscetical Theology and Hebrew.

Peter and Happy have twosons: older son Bill who lives inJapan, and whose children arePeter and Sigrid; and younger sonSteve, who lives in Virginia withhis wife Lara and children Erikand Adele.

Peter attended seminary atNashotah House in Wisconsin, theAnglo-Catholic seminary of theEpiscopal Church, stronglyrecommended by Bishop Reeves.It proved to be a perfect fit. Heserved as a Deacon while inseminary and as Chaplain at St.John's Military Academy.

Fr. Ingeman’s first position wasassistant here at Christ Churchand Chaplain to VSU. Then he wascalled to St. Francis, Savannah, for11 years. He and Happy returnedto Valdosta in 2000. He has servedas Chair of the DiocesanCommission on Ministry; chair,Commission on Liturgy; memberof the Diocesan Council; memberof the Diocesan EcclesiasticalCourt; Dean of the SavannahConvocation, and Deputy toGeneral Convention.

His favorite hymn is "Brightestand Best of the Stars of theMorning." His best advice tobrides and grooms is “Never loseyour sense of humor!”

Asked for one type of service hewould like to see Christ Churchprovide, he said, “an EpiscopalSchool through grade 12.”

Happy Ingeman was born toHarry and Marian Plews inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania andraised in New Jersey from the age

of seven. She has three sisters:Nancy, Karen, and Linda, and abrother named Bob. She attendedDouglass College, the Women'sCollege of Rutgers.

Happy was called Happy fromvery early childhood; a name thatPeter says is, “an amazing bit ofprescience!”

Her favorite US Army stationwas Landstuhl im Pfalz, Germany,where she had a chance to visitPeter's Norwegian relatives, travelall over and ski in the Alps. “Weshowed our boys that people arepeople no matter where you live,”she said.

Her favorite anecdote aboutmoving involved the move toLeavenworth, Kansas fromWashington during a strike. “Wewaited a long time to get ourfurniture, cooked in an electric frypan, had a coffee pot, and slept onthe floor in sleeping bags. Petersuggested that we row down theMissouri River, pick up our thingsand row them back. We didn't dothat. Everything came...eventually,” she said.

Her best advice for moving?“Do not let the movers take the lidoff your flour canister. Always besure you have a change of clothing

Curious Country Customs (David & Charles, 2007)By Jeremy Hobson

Ever been dwile flonking? Orever follow the Guizer Jarl and hisarmy of Vikings and their longship?In this immensely readable littlevolume, Jeremy Hobson gleefullydetails a host of weird andwonderful traditions from theBritish Isles. We read of the ShroveTuesday Pancake Race; of dancerswho wear turbans, kilts, and clogs;

and of those who caper about inreindeer horns. We learn to watchthe sun itself dance on EasterSunday and to beware of being“gowked” on April Fool’s Day; andwe are introduced to cheese-rolling,well-dressing, rush-bearing, andswan-upping. Clearly, there aremore ways than days in the year tocelebrate the seasons! There arerecipes, too, for Furmitty, a GoodFriday dish; for Star-Gazey Pie(pilchards in milk, covered withpastry); and for a sticky toffee calledYellowman, and much more.

Most of these customs are rootedin religious festivals. Carrots aregathered on St. Michael’s day, andBawming the Thorn—decorating thehawthorn tree, descended fromJoseph of Arimathea’s staff—takes

place onMidsummerDay. InChurchClyppingparishionersjoin handsto encircletheir church,and thenbeat the bounds on RogationSunday. To the uninitiated, thesepractices may seem colorful andwhimsical, but there is more herethan meets the eye. In picture andtext, Hobson gives us insight intoboth local and national history, butmore importantly, into the way weweave our lives together bycelebrating the blessings ofcommunity.

Nutcracker cast visits Christ Episcopal Preschoolphotographs by Beth Baker

The Nutcracker cast arrived in costume atChrist Episcopal Preschool and otherschools in Valdosta in advance of theirperformance at Mathis Auditorium,December 6 and 7.

In the “straightforward” foreward to his new book, Irony,Wilby Coleman describes his evolution from the practiceof law to dabbling in art and blacksmith work, and finally

to full-time and over-time creation of metal sculpture. Thehardcover book, published by Snake Nation Press andprinted in Valdosta by Colson Printing Company, features 127 of Coleman’s sculptures,with text of fascinating stories of construction, exhibitions, and commentary on the workas well as photographs of the remaining 109 pieces on two DVDs, one for televisiondisplay and one for high resolution files to display on a computer.

“Themes in my work are taken from science, mythology, religion (or lack of it), astronomy, old jokes, songs,common phrases, cartoons, history, literature, and just about everything. From lessons of life, law practice, andmuch reading, I have accumulated a lot of totally useless facts. Titles are replete with irony, puns, double entendres,and layers of meaning, so that many of my works can be found to be funny by an eight-year-old, a 12-year-old, andan adult—all for different reasons,” said Coleman.

Julius Ariail photographed the majority of the 236 sculptures, and Julia Ariail designed the graphic layout of thebook. One of Mike Tanner’s photographs of the construction of “Blades of a Feather” appears on an introductorypage. Along with the Price-Campbell Foundation, Blake Ellis supported the book’s production, and John and PhyllisHiers and Barbara Passmore proofread the book before publica tion. Griff Holland worked with the Ariails toposition the sculptures so they could be photographed. Marshall Parks takes full credit for taking Wilby to his firstblacksmith workshop. Many Christ Church parishioners attended the December 1 book signing at the Turner Centerfor the Arts. The book is available for $56 including tax and shipping from Snake Nation Press on the Web at<www.snakenationpress.org> or by calling Editor Roberta George at 242-1503.

Letter from an 18-year old Iraqi girlIt’s such a great honor for me to represent my people and

thank you for all the welfare you do to my country.It’s simple things that can make the child smile. But

making the child smile and leaving him happy is the greatestthing that ever can happen.

When the troops came to Iraq for the first time, all thepeople thought that they were occupation forces who came tokill and steal the oil. But because of the welfare that yourorganization do and the other organizations, most of thepeople had changed their points of view and the way theythink of the American Soldiers and America in general.

I would love to tell you that because of what yourorganization had gave to those poor or underprivilegedchildren a lot of people now are praying that every singleAmerican Soldier go back home safe and I’m one of thosepeople.

And finally, I thank God for giving me the chance to thankyou for what you did to my country and my people.
