News of the Church 06
It's 27 December 2023 and it is the Wednesday in the Octave of Christmas and the Feast of St John the Evangelist. Some time ago, I saw a movie called News of the World in which years after the Civil War a former confederate officer eeks out a living going about and reading to people who pay a dime a head (about $2.50 today) various newspaper stories from all over. The idea caught my imagination and here I am, a gazetteer.
