ARCHBISHOP BARRY in his Christmas Sermon calls us to support refugees, such as the millions who have fled from Syria. “We cannot forget that the God we worship is revealed in Jesus who was born in Palestine, an occupied country, whose parents became refugees as they fled a genocidal tyrant in the person of Herod. That echoes the experience of millions in our world. We too may feel totally powerless where there are four million refugees who have fled from Syria alone. It ought to spur us, as Christians, to urge our government to open our borders to far more of them than the few we do shelter, and touch our own hearts in being financially generous to charities which alleviate their plight. God’s light in the darkness of our world is made manifest in His solidarity with those who suffer and are desperate. And if we are disciples of Jesus, then we too must witness to that light, if we really believe it is a light that no darkness can ever overcome.” CARDIFF RECORDED MUSIC SOCIETY will meet in the Schoolroom on Wednesday 7.25-9.30pm for a talk entitled “To decorate or not to decorate?”.
