Nativity

Anyone else see the "Liverpool Nativity" on BBC 3, if not it is being repeated.......

Liverpool Nativity
Sun 23 Dec, 22:45 - 23:50

BBC One
Contemporary music drama which reworks the Nativity story. Set in a fictitious state, it tells the story of a pregnant young girl set against a backdrop of political tension. [S]

It was an excellent example of "God's" story being brought into a modern day context. I was also pleased to hear that the Bishop of Liverpool was consulted with the planning. I was encouraged by the fact that there were so many people there to take part. For some, I am sure, they would have been there because it was a free night out, singing some Beatles songs and maybe get on TV. Yet everyone looked like they wanted to be there and enter into the "spirit" of the Christmas story for themselves. Who said people don't want to be part of a bigger story!
