Do you know the Christmas story?


..... perhaps you think you do..... but do you understand how it fits into the big sweep of history and what relevance it  has for us today?

Come and be prepared to discuss Christmas in a slightly different way.   Not donkeys, stars, inns or Christmas trees but issues of what makes us human and how we can start to right the wrongs and injustices we see in the world.

You may be surprised by this Christmas story......

Come and join the discussion!  

I look forward to welcoming you again

What's your view?
