Church leaders send message of hope and urge Christians to return to the church

Church leaders from across the country have shared a Christmas message of hope in the wake of devastating fires and droughts. Despite falling numbers of those who identify as Christian in Australia, the churches are expecting mass crowds for Christmas and New Year. Each of Australia's senior religious leaders have urged Christians to return to the faith and to the church to overcome the traumas many are enduring, including calls for a national effort to assist those facing abuse, loneliness, and isolation.
