- 30 November 1965 (probable)nid 1175 delivery claims: [d0]/[d1] 1964-11-27 certain/preferred (two catalog sources over one legacy event), [d2] 1965-12-13 certain (a different catalog source), [d3] 1965-11-30 probable (independent chrome dateline).

Neville explains that the season of Advent comprises four Sundays, and names the Sunday nearest 30 November -- the first Sunday of Advent, which he calls 'The Day of Christ or Christmas' -- criticizing how churches mark it with external ritual and ceremony while missing the true mystery: that the gospel unfolds and awakens from within man, not as a historical event two thousand years past.
