What does it mean to truly 'Put Christ back into Christmas'
Far-right activist Tommy Robinson and his Unite the Kingdom movement are organising an event in Whitehall on 13 December which says it is about ‘putting the Christ back into Christmas’.
Below we offer three reflections on the true meaning of Christmas, and how churches can respond.
The gift of Christmas; the gift of Christ
The Revd Dr Mark Rowland, Secretary of the Faith & Order Committee, asks how we ensure that the good news of Christ's birth remains at the heart of our national festive celebrations this year.
Is Tommy Robinson the person to put Christ back into Christmas?
A blog from JPIT: "We pray that Christ will be at the centre this Christmas, but let us together ensure that the Christ we proclaim is seen in love not hate, light not darkness, hope not fear."
Good news of great joy... for all!
