Picture Shows, Florists from York Minster prepare the Advent Wreath at York Minster for the first Time in 2 years
Advent Wreath raised at York Minster as a sign of hope
One of the largest Advent wreaths in the country is being raised at York Minster today (Friday 27 November) as a sign of hope as the cathedral prepares to mark the start of Advent this Sunday.
The Archbishop of York, The Most Reverend Stephen Cottrell, will be at the Minster to see the 4m wide wreath lifted into place, for the start of what will be his first Advent and Christmas in the role of Archbishop.
The wreath will be suspended in its traditional place below the Central Tower for the first time since 2017, as scaffolding surrounding the Grand Organ as part of its once-a-century refurbishment has prevented it from being lifted into place for the last two years.
The wreath, which has been made by the cathedral’s volunteer flower arrangers using ivy and holly sourced mainly from the Minster’s gardens, will hold five candles which are gradually lit each Sunday during Advent in the countdown to Christmas Day.
The Archbishop of York, The Most Reverend Stephen Cottrell, said: “The raising of the Advent Wreath is a sign of hope – the hope that light will come to our darkness, the hope that life will overcome death, and the hope that God will be with us.
“I pray that in these weeks as we journey towards Christmas together, that people will be filled with these hopes. I am praying that all will discover that in Jesus they can be made whole and be fulfilled.”
The first of the 1m tall candles, which are capable of burning constantly for three weeks, will be lit on Sunday (29 November), the first day of Advent, during the Minster’s 11am Eucharist service.
Public worship is not currently permitted in the cathedral but the service will be livestreamed via the Minster’s website and social media channels for people to join from home. A special service called ‘Looking for the Light – A Sequence of Music and Readings for Advent Sunday’, will also be livestreamed at 4pm on Sunday.
The remaining candles will be lit each Sunday building up to the lighting of the final candle on Christmas Day, which represents the birth of Christ, the light of the world. They will remain lit until the Feast of Epiphany on 6 January, although at least two will need to be replaced during the five weeks.
In addition to the digital worship opportunities, the Minster is currently open for private prayer from 10am – 12noon Monday to Saturday (excluding Tuesdays when the Minster is closed) and 1pm – 3pm on Sundays.
Full details of York Minster’s programme for the start of Advent 2020 are available via the cathedral’s website at www.yorkminster.org.

John Nahrgang ordained a deacon, one step closer to priesthood
Photos by Billy Hardiman and story by Ambria Hammel, The Catholic Sun.
In his final minutes as a lay Catholic, seminarian John Nahrgang smiled in anticipation of the big moment. That would come immediately following the proclamation of the Gospel at the May 28 televised and livestreamed Mass at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral, when a chair was placed at the foot of the altar and Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted ordained Nahrgang — a convert to Catholicism — a deacon.
Men who are ordained to the transitional diaconate are one step closer to their ultimate calling to serve the Church as priests. Providentially, Nahrgang’s ordination to the diaconate took place on Ascension Sunday, when the Church recalls Christ’s words to His disciples that they would receive power from the Holy Spirit and become His witnesses to the world.
“You, my son, have been waiting for this day of ordination for several years,” Bishop Olmsted said. “Now the waiting is over — from this day forward, you will be a public witness to Jesus Christ in communion with me and my successors.”

ITALIA ARCHEOLOGICA & RESTAURO ARCHITETTURA. Italian Ministry of Culture, Dario Franceschini & "VeryBello": ISIS to Exhibit Floating Pavilion of Art Destruction at Venice Biennale, MIBACT (01|04|2015).
VENICE — The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has announced that it will have its first-ever Venice Biennale pavilion when the international art exhibition opens next month. The announcement was made at a press conference held Wednesday morning aboard the Raqqa, a boat moored outside the Giardini, where the global art event takes place. The watercraft arrived in Venice late Monday and attracted attention from Venetians when it began to endlessly play the 1982 song “Rock the Casbah” by the Clash throughout the day.
The pavilion’s radical, participatory programming will allow visitors to bring artworks onboard and create viral videos of their destruction with ISIS members. The event was announced through an e-flux email blast with the subject heading: “Bring your paintings! Bring your sculptures! Bring your cultural treasures! Then destroy them!” Visitors will be invited to queue at the boat for a ritual of destruction using a golden auction hammer against a green screen that will be livestreamed for viewers around the world.
Curated by Talaat al-Dulaimi, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s son, the pavilion will not have a conventional catalogue, but all materials will be available on YouTube. Visitors will be encouraged to share videos and comments about their experiences using the hashtag #ISISinVenice.
“A few months ago, we realized that there’s a long tradition of what ISIS has been doing in contemporary art, and what better way to continue our mission than to go to the source,” al-Dulaimi said to an astonished crowd of reporters and cultural figures. “By encouraging the public to bring us art — be it their own or pieces taken or ‘liberated’ from others — we are tapping into the increasingly experiential and embodied nature of aesthetic experience. Everyone is talking about the potential for art to go viral, and we know how to do that better than anyone.”
The mood aboard ISIS’s barge pavilion and in the nearby Giardini was mixed following the announcement. Some 65 protesters — most of whom appeared to be tourists — stood on the mainland yelling various chants, including “Art Is Sacred!,” and brandishing placards that read “ISIS = Insensitive Sociopaths Impotently Smashing.” Venice Biennale President Paolo Baratta and the curator of this year’s edition, Okwui Enwezor, were confused by the news, which they both heard after the press conference.
“We received their application and refused to give them a space in the Giardini, but I’m not sure we can restrict their water access,” Baratta told Hyperallergic.
Richard Armstrong, director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, was in attendance. Though he declined to comment on the biennale pavilion announcement, an ISIS art handler who spoke on condition of anonymity told Hyperallergic that he overheard al-Dulaimi expressing interest in a Raqqa franchise of the New York–based museum.
Elsewhere, the announcement was met with skepticism and outright anger, namely from artist Bob and Roberta Smith (aka Patrick Brill), who claimed that the ISIS pavilion exhibition is a ripoff of his ongoing Art Amnesty project, which was recently shown at MoMA PS1 and invites members of the public to throw their art in dumpsters. Though the artist is currently busy running a parliamentary election campaign against former British secretary of education Michael Gove, he intends to sue al-Dulaimi and al-Baghdadi for copyright infringement.
“Smashing antiquities is one thing,” Brill said, “but desecrating my conceptual art dumping project is not OK.”
The ISIS project raises serious questions about the art world’s tolerance for radicality. Berlin-based curators Jarmon and Mufter said they were excited by the idea. “The art world has been stuck in a rut,” Mufter told Hyperallergic at the press event. “This brings up questions of taste, media performance, and what our cultural institutions represent — and most importantly, who they are speaking for.”
“I hope they don’t get co-opted,” Jarmon said, before asking the bartender for champagne and being told it was a dry event. “Every revolutionary gesture is consumed, digested, and ruined by neoliberal capitalism.”
“So it’s OK for ‘artists’ to destroy artworks and call it art, but not OK for us? [deleted expletive-filled revolutionary language],” one ISIS artist was overheard saying in an argument with an Italian curator known for his Marxist nonprofit space in Bologna.
The 20-minute presentation began with an introduction that situated the ISIS pavilion in modern art history. It quoted Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the founder of the Italian Futurist movement, who wrote, “destroy the museums, the libraries, every type of academy” and “we will glorify war — the world’s only hygiene — militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.”
“We share your values,” al-Dulaimi told the crowd. “And we intend to complete the vision of Marinetti, who was a genius before his time.”
The discussion continued with slides of Robert Rauschenberg’s 1953 “Erased de Kooning” drawing, Jean Tinguely’s “Homage to New York” (1960) — a self-destructive sculpture exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art — and Ai Weiwei’s “Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn” (1995), which, al-Dulaimi reminded the crowd, were all created by male artists and are celebrated today in museums the world over.
For ISIS, the Venice Biennale pavilion is just the first in a number of cultural projects it has planned in Italy. The group will have a pop-up pavilion at Expo Milano next month, where it will hand out ISIS-branded goods, including mugs and Swiss Army knives, and by year’s end hopes to take over administration of the floundering MAXXI museum in Rome, which it will rebrand as “MAXXISIS.” The latter project was announced on Twitter in February in a message that was widely misinterpreted as a threat to attack the Italian capital.
Curators of other Venice Biennale pavilions expressed unease over ISIS’s participation. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” said Tamara Chalabi, co-founder of the Ruya Foundation for Contemporary Culture in Iraq, which commissioned the Iraqi pavilion at this year’s biennale. “Is this some kind of sick joke?”

In response to the global crisis in education, thousands of education actors from around the world came together for the Transforming Education Summit during the U.N. General Assembly this past September to discuss systemic issues of equity, inclusion, quality, and relevance. From climate emergencies to the rise of fake news to public health crises, education systems must not only equip the next generation with the skills needed to read, write, and count, but to actively problem-solve and think creatively in today’s rapidly changing world. To help reach Sustainable Development Goal 4, it is essential to transform education systems to meet the needs of today’s learners and deliver a breadth of skills equitably to all children.
The Center for Universal Education (CUE) at Brookings hosted a symposium on education systems transformation on Friday, February 17 at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. As a celebration of its 20th anniversary, the center launched its new 10-year strategy focusing on systems transformation for holistic education, locally defined priorities, and collaboration in bringing research to practice across education ecosystems. The event explored some of the false dichotomies that often characterize education systems transformation—foundational versus holistic learning, local versus global focus, and policy versus practice—and examined the critical role of systems transformation across CUE’s and partners’ diverse work portfolios.
The opening and closing sessions were livestreamed for remote audiences.

A new columbarium wall in the graveyard of St Matthew’s Church in Irishtown was dedicated by Archbishop Michael Jackson on Sunday February 28. The columbarium will offer a place of repose for parishioners and for people from the wider community.
The dedication took place during a Service of Holy Communion which was livestreamed to parishioners who could not attend due to current restrictions. The Archbishop said that the dedication within the celebration of the Eucharist was “a sign and a symbol to us all of the communion of saints and of the spiritual and loving connection of the living and the dead as we journey through Lent 2021 and beyond”. During the service, the Vicar, the Revd John Marchant, commended parishioner and architect, the late Stuart Hamilton, whose vision led to the building of the columbarium.
The word columbarium derived from the nesting boxes of pigeons or doves, Archbishop Jackson noted. “The dove, the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus in the desert at his baptism and this cannot but be another resonance of the columbarium in a Christian context. It is a gentle and a delightful image of what we do with the ashes of those whom we love now parted from us. We treat them with respect and affection. We share their memory with church and with community. Their ashes rest and nest, so to speak, in the columbarium. And for me in a very particular way these niches, these holes in the stone, connect me with that transformative and spiritual experience on The Mountain of Temptation and its perspective on an even more untouchable life with God on the next–door mountain,” he said.
Archbishop Jackson also paid tribute to the Revd John Marchant who retires at the end of March, for all the wonderful positive and active things he has done in the parish in his years of service there. He described him as “tireless, responsive, industrious, helpful, courteous, outreaching and Godly” and wished him and his wife Pat everything that is best as they journey into the years ahead. He added that they would both be missed and cherished greatly.
He also acknowledged that there were many who would have wished to be in St Matthew’s in person for the dedication. However, he added: “We all continue to seek for God and be found for God in Level 5 Lockdown wherever we are. It adds a certain frisson, a particular sharpness to Lent 2021. We carry in our own person the burden of responsibility for others as the first receivers of the burden of responsibility for ourselves. We have been here before. It gets no easier. Yet we are still all in this together and that too is part of our new understanding of gathering.”
This year’s celebrations of Krishna Janmashtami (Krishna’s appearance day) was a 2-day event, on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday activities included Bhakti Marga Academy's lecture on the Bhagavad Gita, 108 Yajnas for Krishna, a play about Krishna that included the first Alvars (bhakti saints), a midnight abhishekam, prasad at 2:30 am, and lots of bhajan singing in honour of Krishna and His life.
Thursday's highlights featured a talk by Paramahamsa Vishwananda about Krishna's life that was also a livestreamed all over the world. Overall, it was a loving and heart-opening celebration, where Guruji encouraged all of us to allow Krishna to be born in our hearts.

Wednesday activities included Bhakti Marga Academy's lecture on the Bhagavad Gita, 108 Yajnas for Krishna, a play about Krishna that included the first Alvars (bhakti saints), a midnight abhishekam, prasad at 2:30 am, and lots of bhajan singing in honour of Krishna and His life.
Thursday's highlights featured a talk by Paramahamsa Vishwananda about Krishna's life that was also a livestreamed all over the world. Overall, it was a loving and heart-opening celebration, where Guruji encouraged all of us to allow Krishna to be born in our hearts.

Speaking during de Session: Leading with Empathy in Times of Crisis
For leaders, the COVID crisis has posed an unprecedented challenge in guiding people through uncertainty, but it has also provided a opportunity to nourish new visions, build trust, recalibrate operating models and rethink the role of organisations and leadership in the longer term. How can leaders turn empathy into action and lead in a new, more positive and impactful way? This is a livestreamed session.

I'm back again...I promise ;)
It's crunch time for the XTerra. Registered for Bricks By The Bay last week, so I've got 3 weeks to make some slight tweaks to the chassis, build the bodywork, and order parts from BrickLink (hopefully before I leave for the convention this time). Going to be livestreaming for the next two or three days on my Facebook page, stay posted there!
