              "Presbyterians Today" Advent Calendar

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--Award-winning Presbyterian writer Vic Jameson, editor 
emeritus of "Presbyterian Survey" (now "Presbyterians Today"), is the 
author of the 1996 Advent Calendar, a traditional pullout feature in the 
December issue of the magazine. 
 
     In addition to Jameson's meditations on the theme "Journeys of the 
Heart," the calendar includes daily scripture readings, suggested home 
worship services and learning activities for Advent. 
 
     Reprints of the calendar, available in past years, are not being 
printed this year, but additional copies of the December issue containing 
the Advent Calendar may be ordered for $1 by calling 1-800-524-2612. 
 
     Also featured in the December issue is "On the Scene in Bethlehem," a 
firsthand account of current events in the town of Jesus' birth by 
Presbyterian missionary Doug Dicks.  J. Martin Bailey, a former editor of 
"A.D." magazine and a communications consultant to the Middle East Council 
of Churches, writes about Dicks' determination to help visitors to 
Palestine and Israel meet local Christians and gain a balanced 
understanding of the competing claims of Jews, Muslims and Christians to 
the Holy Land.
