Orthodox Christmas: Conflicts and celebrations
In the Western world we often neglect that there is a vibrant church in the East. In 1954 AD the Eastern and Western churches separated. One book reviewed on BookIdeas.com advanced that Christianity was unified until the Reformation--betraying a lack of knowledge of this schism on the author's part. Anyway, today sections of this Eastern Orthodox Church celebrate Christmas. I thought I would share with you this explanation of the Orthodox traditions and how groups are trying to re-identify with their spiritual past. Many thanks to Brian J Požun for providing this insight.

Europe's New Economy: Competition by Integration
Twenty months after its start the new Euro currency's reputation is not at its best. In less than two years its cross rate against the Dollar has lost more than 25%. Thus Wim Duisenberg of the ECB has clearly lost the first round in the challenge between the world’s most powerful central bankers. But the economy in Euroland might be better than it seems. Thanks to the progress in integration, growth rates are rising beyond expectations. Important financial reforms are underway in Germany and France and will soon develop their positive impact on private demand. Even on the stock markets Europe has finally found an answer to the NASDAQ challenge, creating its own circuit of most dynamic “New Markets” for technology shares. Started in 1997, the New Market has received an enthusiastic welcome by investors and is now present in six countries with over 400 companies. The Swedish OM Gruppen´s bid on the London Stock Exchange is another surprising episode in the process that sees Europe’s major financial places preparing to merge into one or two integrated stock exchanges. Thanks to the effects of integration, competition is growing for companies as well as for governments, producing benefits for consumers and citizens. Thus the next decade in world economy could as well be a European one.
