Letter from the Interim Moderator

Light for our Darkness
‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” The message of Christmas addresses our worst fears, and provides them with an answer.
Children are, on the whole, afraid of the dark. and even when we grow up, there is still a sense that darkness stands for danger; that night is when bad things can happen. We light ever bigger and brighter lanterns, polluting the night sky with our street lights, so that we can no longer see the stars, but our fears remain.
