“At the heart of the Christmas story is a vulnerable newborn child. This is the lesson we learn as we come to Bethlehem. To put the needs of the vulnerable first.” You can read my piece in today’s @Telegraph here 👇 archbishopofyork.org/news/latest-ne…

Breaking News. Something dreadful seems to have happened in Worcester Cathedral: a very large camel (or is it a dromedary?) has driven the Holy Family out of the stable and they are exposed to the elements some distance away - as if life wasn’t difficult enough for them already.
