Santa and Jesus in Belfast talk, Dec. 11

The Conference of Religious of Ireland (CORI) promotes Thomas Moore’s 7:30 p.m. appearance in Belfast on Thursday 11 December, 2008. His talk, "Santa, the Holy One" will be delivered at:
Nazareth House,
516 Ravenhill Road,
Belfast, BT6 0BW

"I think Santa Claus and gift-giving do indeed express the spirit of Christmas and are, fully in accord with the birth of Jesus, in the true Christmas spirit. I’d like to make those connections and affirm our celebration of the sacred time of light from darkness." — Thomas Moore

This evening lecture is sponsored by CORI and Drumalis. Admission is £5. The public is warmly invited. Moore will lead the Advent Retreat at Drumalis in Larne starting December 12.
