The General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church (GTS) has spent
the last week putting the finishing touches on an hour long television
program, Christmas in Chelsea Square, that will air over CBS
stations nationwide on December 24th at 11:35 pm (EST). The 194-year-old
seminary was selected by the network last summer to produce the annual
television special. The central portion of the program features a
traditional Christmas service of lessons and carols for which the
homilist is the Episcopal Church’s Presiding Bishop and Primate, the
Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori.
Also featured are excerpts from a
reading of Clement Clarke Moore’s famous poem that begins, “Twas the
Night Before Christmas,” as well as a brief segment that introduces
viewers to the Seminary’s history and present day mission. General is
known for the beauty of its Episcopal liturgy and music as well as its
idyllic campus located in the Chelsea district of New York City on
property donated by Moore and known as Chelsea Square.
