Archbishop goes online to open doors on Advent messages

The Archbishop will be writing a series of daily reflections on his website from December 1 up until Christmas Day.

The announcement follows the success of his 2010 online Advent Calendar which enabled people to follow the Archbishop’s personal journey towards Christmas.

The archbishop said: “Christmas is, for me, the greatest story ever told. God’s wonderful gift of love is for each and every one of us.

“Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, and I hope that people will join me so we can share the expectation and excitement of Advent together.”

The online Advent Calendar for 2011 will be available at http://www.archbishopofyork.org/pages/advent-calendar-2011.html
