Introducing Comfort and Joy
Comfort and Joy holds together the hope that Christmas will bring joy and celebration after a uniquely difficult year with an acknowledgement that – for those who have lost loved ones or livelihoods, or who are potentially still not able to be together with loved ones – it may be the Church’s role, both nationally and locally, to provide consolation, rather than assume everyone will be ready to join in jubilation.
This festive season, the theme of Comfort and Joy is one that has been adopted by the Church of England and by this Diocese, through both our daily Advent Calendar of stories here and through this weekly section in Grapevine.
We are sharing stories of Comfort and Joy from parishes and schools across our Diocese.
You can also watch the Church of England's Christmas Video on YouTube here,
