Editor's Note:
Hello and welcome to the Christmas issue of Christis. To be honest, it's not very Christmas-y in the happy-happy-joy-joy sense, but it does contain a bumper stocking-ful of politics, creative writing and theological thought to keep you arguing long into the new year. And some very nice pictures. Happy New Year, and see you again after the millenium bug has eaten all the world's computers!
