Just like you, Sydney Anglican Archbishop Kanishka Raffel knows how much Christmas 2022 means to us all.

But as Kanishka reflected upon the Saviour’s birth, he gave two key reasons why anyone would visit a local church to celebrate Christmas, no matter what is going on in your life.
In sharp contrast to a glossy or disposable approach to Christmas, the church down the road is full of reality and community, according to Kanishka.
