This reflection comes on the eve of International Women's Day, given by Uniting Church in Australia President, Dr Deirdre Palmer. Who are the women for whom do YOU give thanks? :)
"Angels" mean different things to different people: from divine messengers to 'angelic children'(!) to guardian angels, and all sorts in between! Our angels are not meant to represent any one understanding, but are there to invite us into thinking about how the mystery we call "GOD" is present and active in the world. Angels and stars are two of the key - and much loved - symbols of Christmas, and however we understand them, they speak to us of big news!
