Share hope this Christmas: Uniting Church

AS you get together with family and friends this Christmas, do not forget those facing hardship, the Uniting Church says.

In the annual Christmas message, President of the Uniting Church in Australia, Reverend Professor Andrew Dutney, said the holiday was a time for all Australians to come together and renew bonds of family and friendship.

But while Australia was a rich and lucky country, Rev Dutney said there were many who will experience hardship over the season.

"Often we see that hardship, but for one reason or another we find ourselves looking away," he said on Wednesday.

"The message of Christmas is one of hope. So please share that hope by opening your hearts to your neighbour, welcoming the stranger, helping whoever it is who needs your care.

"As you and your loved ones celebrate Christmas this year and reflect on the year just past, I encourage you to open your hearts and minds."

On behalf of the Uniting Church, Rev Dutney wished all Australians a safe and happy Christmas.
