Christmas Sermon Links Child and Christ to Peace
In a late January piece William T. Ellis reflects on a goat-skin raft journey to Assyria, a Christmas tree in a German dig, and the child as symbol of both deliverer and future world peace. He argues modern welfare progresses from the Christmas spirit, urging society to value children, embrace good will, and align justice and peace with the Bethlehem promise.
