Summary
The December 1983 issue carries the Metropolitan’s Christmas message, calling for peace of heart and humility. Joy is not a formality; it arises as pride and resentment are laid down. Forgiveness, honest self appraisal and responsibility in family and neighbourhood are urged. Violence and consumerist idolatry are rejected, with a path to personal change that becomes social peace. The tone is pastoral and practical: faith expressed through deeds and gentleness.
