#GodWithUs: C of E gets creatively evangelical with new Christmas campaign
by Joseph Hartropp, Christian Today.
The Church of England has launched #GodWithUs, its Advent and Christmas campaign ‘aimed at encouraging millions to experience the love of God’ this festive season.
The campaign will be punctuated with three specially made films focusing on different aspects of festive Anglican worship, with the emphasis on sharing ‘the joy of knowing the love of God and gathering in a local community during Advent and Christmas’…
…In an increasingly post-Christian country, but one with rich Christian heritage, British Christians face the significant challenge of relating their faith to outsiders in a way that demonstrates not a tired relic of the past but something living, breathing and transformative – a ‘gift’ really worth unwrapping. Even with a season as established as Christmas, its religious moorings and implications can easily be missed.
That can make this time of year a fruitful one with those tasked with sharing the Christian gospel anew, like the soul[food] team behind the Church of England’s Advent resources, emphasising a visit to church at Christmas as something simple and accessible, but also fraught with peace, wonder and the possibility of encounter with God.
