Silent Night and Christmas Hymns Across Nations
The piece notes Silent Night as the best loved hymn with words by Father Joseph Mohr and tune by Franz Gruber in 1818. It mentions There’s a Song in the Air by Karl Harrington and words by Joseph G. Holland, plus diverse views on Christmas theology and the role of family in faith. It covers church work among African Americans, Episcopal education efforts, UN diplomacy, and new missionary work in Colombia, with cautions about fear of Russia and the atomic age and calls for international peace and human rights.
