DIY HANDY HINT
Shaping Up
Carving is most relaxing, very creative and takes up little space. To start try the Marples curved blade carving knife and get to work on a bar of soap. Soap carving is the simplest way to learn the basic cuts of 'wood whittling'.
Fascinating shapes can soon be whittled from wood scraps or an old favourite, gnarled Ivy roots.

for Advent Sunday
Sutherland in the far northwest of Scotland is a land of empty moors, peat-brown streams and forbidding mountains. A country where sheep outnumber people by ten to one. It's a harsh landscape whose biblical severity makes a strong faith essential, and where the good news of Advent and the coming of the Lord seems particularly welcome.
Ian Gall finds himself caddying for the Minister of Domoch Cathedral on the Royal Dornoch Golf Course and meeting people from every corner of the county, who come together in the cathedral to sing their Advent hymns.
Hills of the north (Little Cornard); Jesus calls us (St Andrew); Trust and obey; I waited for the Lord (Ballerma); The Lord's my shepherd (Orlington); O brother man (Londonderry Air); Approach my soul the mercy seat (Stracathro); Hark the glad sound (Bristol).

A Fairly Honourable Defeat The Church of England is today on the defensive in the inner cities, apparently irrelevant in a hostile world of unemployment, deprivation and riots. But the problems it is facing are not new ones. In the week the Archbishop of Canterbury's
Commission on the Church in the City publishes its findings, Everyman asks: has the Church ever been at home in Britain's industrial areas? Or has it always, as its critics maintain, dined with the rich and preached to the poor?
The film goes to one English town - Middlesbrough and examines the Church's record there over the last 150 years. It reveals a story of lethargy and energy, of indifference and concern, of occasional victories and persistent defeats.
