'Dappled Things' blends murder mystery and faith | DON NOBLE

Joe Taylor, while a professor of English, has also, as director of the Livingston University Press, been the publisher of over 200 books. Astonishingly, he has also edited at least 10 volumes and written three volumes of stories and at least 13 novels, several in verse. His fiction is usually speculative. This volume, “Dappled Things,” is as close to realistic as Taylor is ever likely to get. It is, at its heart, a murder mystery, sort of. In an Abbey near Cullman called here Our Lady of Seven Sorrows, Brother Benedict and Brother Julius, monk-artist, are together a few minutes after midnight on Christmas morning assembling a somewhat unusual creche: the infant Jesus is Black and the Holy Mother as well. This inspiration had come in a vision. Just as Benedict is placing the stone infant into the manger, Brother Julius is killed by a bullet to the head. The scene evokes both the murder of JFK in Dallas and St. Thomas Beckett in Canterbury. The murder is racist, surely, especially since a butchered black cat and a severed Black hand had been found on the grounds some time earlier. Two investigations ensue: police search for the killer and Benedict

Cullman Regional Foundation’s 35th Lights of Love ceremony set for Dec. 8

CULLMAN, Ala. – There is a certain kind of quiet that settles over a room at Christmastime when people gather to remember. It is the hush before the first carol. The soft rustle of a program in someone’s hands. The glow of a single candle passed from one neighbor to the next. And somewhere in that stillness, a name is spoken, a face comes to mind, and for a moment, someone dearly missed feels close once again. For 35 years, that moment has had a home in Cullman. The Cullman Regional Foundation will hold its 35th annual Dr. Herman C. Ensor Lights of Love Christmas Ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 6 p.m. in Christ Hall at St. John’s Church, 512 Second Ave. SE. The program is free and open to everyone. “Families and friends of loved ones come together during a special season to remember loved ones,” said Maria Stanford, executive director of the Cullman Regional Foundation. “We pray together, sing together, and it provides a time to reflect on memories.” The ceremony carries the name of the man who started it. Dr. Herman C. Ensor was recruited to what was then Cullman Hospital in 1975, where he started
