College Advent Carols
Nov. 27th, 2005 08:46 pmThose who remember my rant a year ago* might be pleased to know that I do not feel the need to rant about this year's Advent Carols.

Yes, it got Christmassy, but I think it was a reasonable compromise of the competing expectations for the service. It's a pity we didn't have Lo he Comes as it makes a great climax to the service. I remember in my first year we had a similar compromise and finished with that which works well I think, because it leaves us looking to the second coming having meditated on the first. But I'm not too sad, because we had it this morning!
