The Bishop of Norwich's Christmas sermon

The Bishop of Norwich used his Christmas sermon to speak of how fear is cast out by hope and love.

Preaching to a packed Norwich Cathedral at the Midnight service, the Rt Revd Graham James spoke of his visit to Bethlehem in the autumn and how it is a place of fear and insecurity.
