This insightful talk will delve into how clergy conveyed the meaning of Christmas, shedding light on the beliefs, values, and celebrations of mid-twentieth century Anglican and London communities. What messages did people hear during the holiday season? How were they shaped by the era’s societal context? Join us to uncover the evolving perceptions of Christmas across these decades.
