Rejoice in God's gift at Christmas despite pandemic
Written by Uganda Episcopal Conference
Sharing their reflections on the Nativity, they say that God continues to be Emmanuel—‘God is with us.’
“God’s presence with us in all circumstances,” they say, “is a source of encouragement and sustenance, especially at these exceptional times of the Covid-19 pandemic, economic crisis, injustices, and increasing violence against the vulnerable and weak,”
The Church leaders express their “solidarity with all people around the world who have been affected by the pandemic and its multi-layered implications, particularly the people of Bethlehem and the surrounding area.” They hope and pray that the “forthcoming vaccination against Covid-19 may bring an end to the pandemic and a return to normalcy”.
