Greeting after joyous greeting to you, for behold, Christis is upon us again with another celebration of all things commercialised. Easter falls under the gaze of this issue, and hey — you’ve only just had time to take down your Christmas cards with their snowmen and robins. (Did you know?: According to legend, when God created the robin redbreast, He told the bird he must remain dull and grey until he earned his red badge of courage. At Golgotha, the robin, seeking to relieve Jesus’ suffering overcame his fear of the mocking crowd, flew to Christ and pulled a thorn out of his head. The blood from the thorn’s wound dripped on to the robin’s breast and has caused it to be red ever since. So don’t mess with robins.) Still, as Easter Sunday draws ever nearer, as the nation looks forward to the B.B.C.’s Watchdog programme complaining about the amount of packaging used in chocolate eggs and how they could all be “potential death traps”, us avid Christis readers can read these delightful articles:
This magazine has been formed to offer an open and challenging attitude towards Christianity, provoking discussion within it, but also extending beyond it. It aims to provide a forum and a mouthpiece for concerned Christianity in its broadest sense.
This issue of Christis was made slightly less poorly by these people:
