		<description><![CDATA[The story of a group of people in Boston, in the US, who faced the closure of their Catholic parish church and began a pretty much spontaneous vigil to ensure the local archdiocese isn't able to shut it for good and sell off the land. What's so interesting about this is the positive effect that this adversity has produced.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being an atheist with no close family, who is old enough to know my own mind, I've developed the freedom over the last few years to dispense with the most regrettable customs surrounding the close of December and to do the things that I think are appropriate instead - making a series of small charitable donations in response to the rampant consumerism going on all around me.]]></description>
