Saturday Lagniappe: 'Boy’s removal from church service spurs debate in UK on welcoming those with autism' And More


According to the National Autistic Society in the U.K., more than a quarter of people with autism and their families have been asked to leave a public place because of behavior linked to their autism.

Rather than singing Christmas carols during the Advent Season on Sundays or whenever the weekly church services are held, I suggest considering the options of having a special Christmas carol service near the conclusion of the Advent Season, having a carol sing in which those attending the sing pick their favorite carols from a list of carols and sing them, and having a chili or soup supper, then going carol singing in the neighborhood or community and then having hot chocolate afterwards. At the church which I attended as a teenager and in whose choir my mother sang, the late night Christmas Eve service was preceded by a medley of familiar Christmas carols and Christmas carols were sung on the first Sunday after Christmas.
