As Victor Aloyo, the Seminary's director of multicultural relations, says, "Christmas as a great festival has not only filled the world with gladness for many years, but it has also added to the customs and traditions of many nations. From the celebration of Loa Posadas in Mexico [a recreation of Mary on a donkey and Joseph searching for a room at the inn], to a festive, meatless Christmas Eve dinner with a special porridge called kutya in Russia, to the creation of the nativity scene in presepio in northern Brazil, Princeton Seminary's Carols of Many Nations provides a glimpse of these celebrations where our community can connect in this joyful and challenging time. From the celebration of Loa Posadas in Mexico [a recreation of Mary on a donkey and Joseph searching for a room at the i...
In the United States, where all nations and traditions mix together, Christmas is a blend of customs from many different countries. There are carols from England and Australia, trees from Germany and for that familiar, beloved figure, St. Nick, we have to thank the Scandinavians, although his sleigh drawn by reindeer began in Switzerland. Today, according to a GfK Roper Report, Christmas is a universal holiday although how it is celebrated differs considerably in each country. In Australia, it is the main annual holiday with schools usually closed for six weeks. It is a time for families and since Australia, like America, is a vast country, a lot of traveling is required. Many families head to the coast or to the beach since it is the height of summer and Christmas dinner is often a col...
This paper addresses the enormous opportunity and promise that the new American President, President Barack Obama must address as he provides a new form of leadership and charts a new, more worldview American administration; one that he has announced to be more collaborative, and inclusive. The paper also provides an introspection into America's continuing difficulty at resolving the issue of Race relations, and the limiting impact that it is having on America fulfilling the opportunity for unleashing the country's full capacity for creativity and innovation. The issue of Race could retard America at establishing a foundation for helping to shape America's global competitive strategy, and for reaffirming America's leadership as a balanced and reasonable world power; one that retains the...

Gerald Duane Coleman is out to set the record straight on one of the most maligned religions in the United States voodoo. Also known in parts of the Western Hemisphere as Santeria, macumba or Candomble, it's based on West African religious traditions. Coleman, 57, an artist, lecturer and storyteller, has for years been bringing Milwaukee audiences closer to customs brought over by African slaves. His purpose is to familiarize people with their origins and explain how the customs connect black people throughout the African diaspora. Raised a Roman Catholic, Coleman became intensely aware of his African roots through travels to Africa, the Caribbean and Brazil, where he keeps an apartment. His slide presentations of Carnival show the threads that connect Mardi Gras to New Orleans, Rio de...
